Psg targets top italian goalkeeper in summer transfer move

The Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is preparing for a significant goalkeeper shake-up as the summer transfer window approaches. With Lucas Chevalier currently benched and Matvey Safonov’s future uncertain, the club is actively exploring options to reinforce its defensive line, starting with the Serie A’s standout goalkeeper.

Despite Luis Campos’ recent announcement that PSG’s transfer activities remain on hold until after the Champions League final, the club has already set its sights on key targets. Among them, Mile Svilar, the Belgian-Serbian goalkeeper who has been crowned Serie A’s best goalkeeper this season, is a prime candidate. The 26-year-old has seen his market value soar to an estimated €50 million, attracting interest from multiple top European clubs, including Chelsea, Inter Milan, and Newcastle United.
