Could Unai Simón Be the Answer for PSG’s Goalkeeping Dilemma?
Amidst fluctuating performances, Lucas Chevalier’s recent outing at the Stade de l’Abbé-Deschamps on Friday night saw him face a quieter game, thanks to AJ Auxerre’s inability to manage a single shot on target during the advanced match of the 19th Ligue 1 day.
Chevalier’s market value and comparisons
Despite being the third most expensive goalkeeper in history following his transfer, only behind Kepa Arrizabalaga and Alisson, the former Lille player is unfavorably compared to his PSG predecessor.
RMC’s Jimmy Braun expressed critical views: “Today’s Lucas Chevalier falls short of Gianluigi Donnarumma. It’s not on the same level.”
Unai Simón: A potential fit for PSG?
Sports journalist Jimmy Braun has a suggestion: “Unai Simón from Bilbao, a goalkeeper who gained prominence under Luis Enrique’s tenure with the national team, could be a viable option. He might cost half of Chevalier’s price, offering extensive high-level experience.”
Unai Simón was indeed selected by Luis Enrique for Euro 2020, taking the starting spot over David de Gea for Spain, a position he has maintained since then.
