Just a year after joining Paris Saint-Germain, Lucas Chevalier finds himself in a challenging position. Overlooked for the upcoming World Cup squad, the 24-year-old goalkeeper could be on the move from Paris this summer. While the French shot-stopper awaits clarity from PSG management, two international clubs have recently made inquiries regarding the former LOSC talent. Here’s a closer look at the unfolding situation.
What does the future hold for Lucas Chevalier? Signed for €55M (including bonuses) last summer, the goalkeeper, who developed his skills at LOSC, endured a significantly difficult inaugural season with PSG. Having fallen behind Matvey Safonov in the pecking order, the Calais native is likely to face a busy summer regarding his career path. Lucas Chevalier, who was not selected by Didier Deschamps for the World Cup, is currently on vacation, anticipating an update on PSG‘s plans for his role within the club.
Besiktas explores Lucas Chevalier transfer
Notably, in recent weeks, several clubs have made inquiries about Lucas Chevalier‘s availability. Tottenham had previously shown interest. However, it is now Besiktas that has most recently gauged the situation. The Turkish club is actively seeking a prominent goalkeeper and has therefore positioned itself regarding the 24-year-old’s status. Despite this, it appears that if he departs, Lucas Chevalier would likely favor a more compelling project.
“To regain confidence, he will need to look elsewhere”
Meanwhile, football analyst Laure Boulleau recently suggested that a summer move would be the optimal solution for Lucas Chevalier. She commented, “I take no joy in knowing he experienced a catastrophic, cataclysmic season. He genuinely needs to bounce back; I don’t believe he suddenly became ineffective overnight. He must regain his confidence, but to do so, he will need to explore opportunities elsewhere. He should move to a place where he can be happy and rediscover the qualities we know he possesses.”
