The website "Foot Mercato" revealed that the position of French goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier at Paris Saint-Germain may soon change, following the impressive performances of goalkeeper Matvei Safonov in recent matches.

The site pointed out that Chevalier, who started the season as the first-choice goalkeeper selected by coach Luis Enrique, has not yet reached a level that satisfies all observers, as his performance continues to be compared with that of goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma. Despite this, there appeared to be internal support for the French goalkeeper.

The same source indicates that Chouaib's ankle injury against Monaco at the end of November allowed Safonov to defend the team's goal against Rennes and then Athletic Bilbao in the Champions League, before maintaining his place in the 3-2 victory against Metz, which strengthened his chances of competing for the starting goalkeeper position.

The sources add that the team management and the Spanish coach have adopted a clear philosophy: the best player will participate regardless of their status or experience. This approach may keep Safonov as a starter as long as he continues to perform well.

With Chouaib's continued absence from some matches, it seems that the second half of the season will witness a fierce competition between the two goalkeepers.
