Paris saint-germain targets top serie a goalkeeper for summer overhaul

By sahel-express / May 23, 2026

This summer, Paris Saint-Germain appears poised for a significant shake-up within its goalkeeping department. With Lucas Chevalier having recently lost his starting spot and Matvey Safonov’s future as the primary custodian for the upcoming season remaining uncertain, the club is actively assessing its options.

While the summer transfer window for Paris Saint-Germain is anticipated to be bustling, concrete moves are not expected immediately. Luis Campos recently confirmed that the club’s transfer activities have been paused for several weeks, a decision made in collaboration with the coach and president. He indicated that no significant acquisitions would be initiated before the Champions League final, now just a week away. Despite this temporary halt, PSG is clearly formulating its strategic plans.

Mile Svilar emerges as a PSG target

Particular attention is being paid to the goalkeeper position. As Lucas Chevalier finds himself relegated to the bench and Matvey Safonov, despite his commendable performances, lacks a definitive assurance of retaining his starting role, PSG is actively exploring the market for a new shot-stopper. Reports indicate the Parisian club is keen on Mile Svilar, currently with AS Roma, who earned the distinction of being named the best goalkeeper in Serie A this season. The 26-year-old Serbian international (with one cap) has seen his stock rise considerably, with his potential transfer fee now reportedly reaching €50 million.

Diogo Costa also on PSG’s radar?

This valuation is unlikely to decrease, given strong interest from major European clubs such as Chelsea, Inter, and Newcastle. The pursuit of Mile Svilar underscores PSG‘s clear intention to significantly alter its goalkeeping hierarchy once again. Furthermore, recent reports from the Portuguese press suggested that PSG might also be preparing an offer for Diogo Costa, the highly-regarded custodian for FC Porto. All signs point to a dynamic and eventful summer ahead for the Parisian giants.
