Karpen: Safonovs PSG Move Is Not a Benchmark

The head coach of the Russian national team, **Valery Karpin**, shared his thoughts on Russian goalkeeper **Matvey Safonov’s** performances with PSG.

«It turned out that Matvey ended up at PSG. For me personally, this is not a significant indicator. It’s clear that he was competitive during training. However, his contribution to all three titles would have to be different for it to matter more,» Karpin’s words were relayed by Championship correspondent Alexander Yershov.

In the previous season, Safonov played in 17 matches across all competitions, keeping a clean sheet in seven of those games. The player’s current contract with the club runs until the summer of 2029. According to information from Transfermarkt, his market value stands at €20 million.
