PSG: ex-Marseillais warns Gianluigi Donnarumma for Safonov

With the scheduled departure of Keylor Navas this summer, PSG did not wait to find his replacement. As we indicated to you in recent days, it is the Russian goalkeeper Matvey Safonov (25 years old) who has been appointed to succeed the Costa Rican in the capital. A surprise arrival, in the sense that his name does not speak to everyone in France, but which is something to worry Gianluigi Donnarumma according to Charles Kaboré. In an interview given to RMCthe former OM player, who worked alongside Safonov at Kuban Krasnador, explained that his former teammate had the weapons to claim a starting place.

“He’s a good guy and a very, very good goalkeeper. He quickly impressed (in Krasnodar editor’s note), It didn’t take him long to join the professional group. He is not afraid to take the ball out at his feet, making instant saves. I think the Paris recruiters have an eyeconfided the Burkinabe international, before studying the profile. He takes the right risks at the right time. He is also good on the line. He is very strong. He anticipates well and he knows how to come out because we defended high, we pressed high. The goalkeepers sometimes make some mistakes. This will inevitably happen and I don’t want to criticize Donnarumma because there is pressure in Paris. But Safonov goes there during aerial outings, he takes the risks he goes looking for the balloons, like Lloris. He doesn’t stay on his line. Even in the feet it comes out, it has no limits. He progressed because he joined the national team. He’s a very good choice for Paris and he can really claim to be a starter.”
