Paris Saint-Germain have initiated discussions with Parma goalkeeper Zion Suzuki, according to Sky Sport Italia. The French club is reportedly considering the Japanese international as a potential reinforcement in goal, following a season of uncertainty for current options.
Suzuki, 24, rose to prominence during the recent World Cup in Qatar, where he delivered several notable performances for Japan, including matches against the Netherlands and Brazil. His displays caught the attention of several European clubs, with Juventus also reportedly interested in securing his services.
The potential move comes amid questions surrounding the future of Lucas Chevalier at PSG. Signed from Lille a year ago for a reported €50 million, Chevalier has seen his position as first-choice goalkeeper challenged by Matvey Safonov. His role has diminished throughout the season, and his place in the French national team squad is now reportedly under scrutiny.
Parma are expected to demand a transfer fee in the region of €30-35 million for Suzuki. The Italian club recognizes the goalkeeper’s value and potential, and will likely be reluctant to let him leave for anything less. Negotiations between PSG and Parma are still in the early stages, but the French champions are prepared to meet the financial demands.
Goalkeeping has been a frequent area of change for PSG in recent seasons. The arrival of Suzuki would represent another investment in a position the club has sought to solidify. Should the transfer materialize, it could lead to either the sale or loan of Chevalier, as PSG look to reshape their goalkeeping department. This move would provide competition and potentially long-term stability in a key position.
