Matvey Safonov has earned around 207m roubles under his Paris Saint-Germain contract since January 2026, despite featuring in almost all of the club’s first-team matches in every competition during the 2025/2026 and 2026/2027 seasons.
By comparison, Lucas Chevalier has added 415m roubles to his earnings, according to insider Ivan Karpov, despite not having started a match for 298 days.
Chevalier’s most recent appearance for Paris Saint-Germain came against Sporting Lisbon in the main phase of the Champions League. The French goalkeeper has not played since that fixture.
Paris Saint-Germain were previously reported to be willing to pay Borussia Dortmund 40m euros for Switzerland goalkeeper Gregor Kobel. However, the German club do not want to let their first-choice goalkeeper leave.
