PSG targets top Italian goalkeeper with potential 50m€ transfer

The Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is gearing up for a high-stakes summer transfer campaign, with goalkeeper positions at the forefront of their strategic planning. As the club prepares for the upcoming season, questions surrounding the futures of Lucas Chevalier and Matvey Safonov have intensified, prompting a targeted search for top-tier talent.

Luis Campos, the club’s sporting director, recently clarified that PSG’s transfer activities remain on hold until after the UEFA Champions League final. « Our transfer window is fully closed for now, » he stated, emphasizing that no concrete moves will be finalized ahead of the decisive match in the coming days. Yet, behind the scenes, the club’s scouting network is actively exploring options to strengthen the squad.

Mile Svilar emerges as a prime target

At the heart of PSG’s goalkeeper dilemma is the uncertain future of both Chevalier and Safonov. Despite Safonov’s consistent performances, no long-term commitment has been secured, leaving the door ajar for competition. According to insider reports, the club has set its sights on Mile Svilar, the AS Roma goalkeeper who has been crowned Serie A’s best goalkeeper this season. The 26-year-old Serbian international has delivered standout performances, with his market value now estimated at a staggering 50 million euros.

Svilar’s rise this campaign has not gone unnoticed, as top European clubs like Chelsea, Inter Milan, and Newcastle United have also expressed interest. This competitive bidding underscores the high regard for the young goalkeeper, who has redefined standards in goalkeeping excellence.

Diogo Costa enters the frame

Meanwhile, another name has surfaced on PSG’s radar: Diogo Costa, the Porto FC goalkeeper. Portuguese media outlets have hinted at a potential bid for the Portuguese international, adding another layer of intrigue to the club’s transfer strategy. With multiple elite keepers in their sights, PSG is poised to make a statement in the goalkeeping market this summer.
