The first coach of PSG player Matvey Safonov, Aleksey Chistyakov, expressed his surprise at his decision to stay with the Paris team. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
Safonov had previously stated that he did not want to leave the club, even though the team did not see him as the main goalkeeper, and this did not change even after Gianluigi Donnarumma's departure. According to the specialist, Matvey's stay at PSG is incomprehensible.
Chistyakov pointed out that a long-term contract has been signed with Luka Shevalye, and he is expected to play in the starting lineup. It is possible that Safonov has been promised an opportunity to prove himself.
Chistyakov stated that he does not have information about Safonov's future plans, but noted that the player needs regular playing practice. It is known that PSG and Donnarumma could not agree on extending the contract, and the Italian goalkeeper is likely to leave the team this summer.
The Paris club has purchased Luka Shevalye from Lille. It has been indicated that Safonov only has the opportunity to compete for the second or third goalkeeper position.
For this reason, Safonov's decision to stay at PSG is raising various questions among many specialists and football fans.
