Following Chevalier's arrival, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is accelerating its decision-making regarding the goalkeeper position.
Luis Enrique has a long-standing habit: the PSG manager never guarantees a starting spot to target players during conversations, which is consistent with his public statements.
In his talks with Chevalier, Luis Enrique was no exception. The conversation focused on his abilities and his potential to become a top goalkeeper, but never mentioned his status within the team.
Therefore, before joining, Chevalier also expressed the same view in conversations with PSG goalkeeping coach Borja Álvarez.
Sports advisor Luis Campos assured him that he remains the team's first-choice goalkeeper, and the ambitious Chevalier did not leave Lille to be a second-choice goalkeeper at PSG.
For Chevalier, being a long-term first-choice goalkeeper in the Champions League is one of his goals.
Donnarumma knows PSG very well and will never be deceived. After an extraordinary season, the goalkeeper has few illusions left. Moreover, he has been open with his teammates.
After months of negotiations, his camp's salary demands were rejected, and he knows PSG's management will seek other options. As revealed on June 8th, the former AC Milan player is seriously considering Manchester City and Manchester United.
In recent weeks, after publicly reiterating his desire to stay at PSG, Donnarumma has been leaking through his entourage that he will likely stay there for another year until his contract expires, then use the strong position granted by his contract. Is this a bluff?
Undoubtedly not. Because the Italian is eager to play. His entourage has been exploring the possibility of his departure for months.
