Paris Saint-Germain are in the final stages of closing a deal with Parma for star Japanese goalkeeper Zion Suzuki, though his immediate role with the club remains uncertain. The 2026 FIFA World Cup prompted many moves in soccer. Now, Paris Saint-Germain have decided to go for a star of the competition, closing in on a deal with Parma for goalkeeper Zion Suzuki. As reported by Fabrizio Romano, PSG and Parma are set to seal a deal where Japanese goalkeeper Zion Suzuki would join the French side for around $40 million (€35 million). However, Suzuki’s role with PSG is yet to be determined. It will all depend on Lucas Chevalier, who has rotated starts with Matvey Safonov. Chevalier is rumored to leave, and if he does, Suzuki would fight for the starting role against the Russian keeper. A ripple effect at PSG Chevalier, 24, is currently followed by Juventus. The Italian side see it as a top priority to bring in a new goalkeeper—specifically a young yet experienced shot-stopper who has already played in a top European league. If Chevalier stays, the alternative move involves Zion Suzuki. PSG reached an agreement for Parma’s goalkeeper to give Juventus options where the French club still secure a strategic advantage. Under this scenario, Suzuki could remain in Italy to play for Juventus on loan from PSG. The Ligue 1 side still have to determine whether Chevalier stays to fight for the starting spot or if Suzuki is the better option to compete with Safonov.
