Matvey Safonov Transfer from Krasnodar to Paris Saint Germain
The Russian goalkeeper's arrival has already been concluded by the Parisian club.
PSG has officially announced the signing of Russian goalkeeper Matvey Safonov.
The Italian coach, Luciano Spalletti, mentioned the possible arrival of the Russian goalkeeper Matvey Safonov at PSG.
The official announcement of Matvey Safonov's transfer to PSG has been awaited for several weeks. The Krasnodar goalkeeper is set to join the French champions to compete with Gianluigi Donnarumma.
Matvey Safonov, who was a key player in Russia's victory over Belarus (0-4), is being highly sought after by PSG. However, due to a divorce process and a dispute over child custody with his ex-wife, Anastasia Kazachek, Safonov is not allowed to leave his country. This situation arose because he has not been paying child support. The debt is reportedly significant, with Russian media citing a figure of 60 million rubles, approximately 620,000 euros. Safonov had allegedly already passed medical exams in Paris last month and was about to sign a five-year contract with the Ligue 1 champion, until June 2029. PSG is willing to pay about 20 million euros to Krasnodar for Safonov to be Donnarumma's backup next season, but the transfer may end up falling through.
Matvey Safonov, the number one goalkeeper in the Russian championship and his national team, has already had his medical examination and will be signing for a sum of 20 million euros from Krasnodar. The Russian goalkeeper was brought in to create competition for the number one spot at PSG.
Matvey Safonov is close to joining PSG, with an agreement reached for his transfer. Only minor details are left to be resolved before the official signing. He is expected to join for a fee of 20 million euros. He is expected to be the backup for Donnarumma.

The Parisians will immediately disburse about 15 million euros, in a deal that can reach €20M depending on the fulfillment of objectives.
