PSG's Transfer of Safonov Cancelled?

A dramatic turn of events in Matvey Safonov’s transfer to PSG: According to Russian media Championat, Krasnodar goalkeeper Matvey Safonov may never sign for Paris.

The player has already undergone his medical examination and was set to sign a 5-year contract with PSG. The transfer fee was set at €18 million, along with various bonuses.

However, for now, the transfer is on hold. According to Championat, Matvey Safonov’s movements have been restricted following a decision made in the last 48 hours. This decision is related to a dispute with his ex-wife over unpaid alimony. The goalkeeper owes a significant amount, estimated at 60 million rubles, or over €600,000.

Matvey Safonov is therefore unable to leave Russia at the moment. Until this sum is paid, PSG cannot sign the player. Will the transfer be cancelled? « I don’t comment on my possible or impossible transfer to PSG. You’ll know as much as I do if it happens, » said the player.
