The profile of the goalkeeper that PSG would be about to recruit would not correspond to Luis Enrique’s expectations.
FK Krasnodar goalkeeper Matvey Safonov is strongly tipped to become one of Paris Saint-Germain’s new goalkeepers. The 25-year-old goalkeeper would replace Keylor Navas, who has reached the end of his contract, and possibly compete with Gianluigi Donnarumma, who is not really unanimous.
But what are the characteristics of this Russian international? “As much as his hand throw is quick and precise, which is useful for counterattacks, he also has problems in the kicking game. He struggles when put under pressure and can make recovery errors. He is not the most suitable for a team that wants to use its goalkeeper as a libero”confided a manager of a Russian club, on condition of anonymity, to the daily The Team.
Safonov, the same shortcoming as Donnarumma?
A profile which calls out since its main shortcoming would be the same as that of the current number 99 of the capital club. However, for Luis Enrique, having a last bulwark who has good kicking is fundamental. The Spanish technician would also have supervised Safonov last April.
According to the specialized account Sasha – Football Scout, the latter would be an expert “in hand distribution, where he can create quick transitions and set the pace. He can easily throw the ball in the midfield with no problem.” To secure his services, PSG could pay around 20 million euros (bonus included).
