PSG Ready to Force Lucas Chevalier’s Exit Amid Luis Enrique’s Rejection and Zion Suzuki Interest

Paris Saint-Germain is actively pushing for the departure of goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier before the summer transfer window closes, according to recent sporting reports. Just twelve months after arriving in the French capital from LOSC Lille for a reported €40 million fee, the 24-year-old shot-stopper finds himself completely sidelined under manager Luis Enrique.

According to coverage from outlets including Football.fr and TopMercato, Chevalier has slipped significantly down the club’s pecking order. Russian international Matvey Safonov has established himself ahead of the French goalkeeper, and the recent pursuit of Japan international Zion Suzuki further complicates the position at Parc des Princes.

The Decline of Chevalier’s Playing Time at PSG

The situation marks a stark reversal from Chevalier’s early days in Paris. Exactly a year ago, the Calais-born goalkeeper made his official debut for the club in the UEFA Super Cup against Tottenham, delivering a decisive performance during a penalty shootout. However, he has not appeared in a single competitive fixture for Paris Saint-Germain since January 20, when he started against Sporting CP in the UEFA Champions League league phase.

Despite the nearly seven-month stretch without official minutes, Chevalier expressed a desire at the end of last season to stay with the Rouge et Bleu and fight for his place. Those ambitions now run counter to the club’s planning.

Transfer Market Interest from Serie A and Premier League

As Paris Saint-Germain looks to offload the former Lille keeper, concrete interest has emerged from abroad. Italian outlet Tuttosport indicates that Juventus is monitoring the situation closely. The Turin club, under manager Luciano Spalletti, is evaluating options for a new cycle in goal as veteran Italian keeper Michele Di Gregorio faces an uncertain future.

Transfer market journalist Nicolo Schira reports that Chevalier has already been offered to several Serie A clubs and English Premier League sides. The strong working relationship between PSG and Juventus—bolstered by negotiations surrounding French forward Randal Kolo Muani—could pave the way for a deal before the transfer window shuts. Whether Paris Saint-Germain secures a permanent transfer to recoup a portion of their initial investment or considers a loan move remains one of the final unresolved questions of their summer window.
