Zion Suzuki Transfer Threatens PSG Goalkeeper Hierarchy
Paris Saint-Germain are considering adding another goalkeeper this summer despite being satisfied with Matvey Safonov's performances. Following the arrival of young Italian prospect Alessandro Longoni from AC Milan, the French club has set its sights on Parma shot-stopper Zion Suzuki after his impressive performances at the 2026 World Cup.
Italian sports daily La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Parma has set a minimum price tag of 30 million euros to part ways with the 23-year-old Japanese international, who still has three years remaining on his current contract. Such a substantial financial investment clearly indicates that the club views him as a serious competitor for the number one spot rather than a backup option.

A potential arrival of this magnitude would deliver a significant blow to Matvey Safonov and spell trouble for French goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier. Chevalier opted to remain at the club to fight for his place after losing his spot last season, though a high-profile signing could ultimately force him toward an unexpected departure before the transfer window closes.
Club officials previously acknowledged Chevalier's commitment to fighting for his position prior to the international tournament, but noted that the unpredictable nature of the transfer market leaves all outcomes open. A late-window exit could severely complicate his career prospects at a time when most European clubs have already finalized their goalkeeping setups for the upcoming campaign.
