Holder of a Master’s degree in international law, I realized at the end of my university career that it was important to evolve in a field that you appreciate. Overnight, I decided to put an end to my parents’ dream, who saw in me a future lawyer, to make a living from my passion: sport. Since then, I have covered transfer windows and sports news, trying to keep readers informed as best as possible.
A few days ago, PSG made its first summer recruit official. Trained in Krasnodar, Matvey Safonov has signed up until 2029 with the Parisian club. A transfer welcomed in Russia, his native country. Torpedo Moscow goalkeeper, Egor Baburin wanted to send him a message before his arrival in Ligue 1.
Gianluigi Donnarumma knows the name of his new teammate, but also of his competitor. Trained in Krasnodar, Matvey Safonov joined PSG a few days ago now. The Russian goalkeeper has signed with the Parisian club until June 2029. To attract Safonov, the PSG spent nearly €20 million. A sum which could surprise given the low reputation of the goalkeeper in France.
Safonov transfer applauded in Russia
But in Russiathe operation Safonov is applauded by several football players, notably by Egor Baburindoorman of Torpedo Moscow. « The brightest and loudest transfer, not only of this summer, but in general for many years, and not only among goalkeepers, is the transfer of Matvey Safonov to PSG. I wish Mota good luck in Paris, a quick adaptation in his new team and in everyday life, and a quick start for PSG” he confided in comments reported by Bobsoccer.ru.
“It’s a huge event
Motorcycle also responded to the skeptics, those who doubt his level of play. “Why, relatively speaking, Andrei Lunin can play for Real Madrid and reach the semi-finals of the Champions League as the main goalkeeper, but Safonov cannot play for PSG?! This is a huge event, not only for the image and perception of our goalkeepers and our goalkeeping school, but also for the whole of Russian football and for the country ” did he declare.
