According to the French club, the 25-year-old goalkeeper “largely contributed” to Krasnodar’s good performance this season, with the team finishing the Russian Championship in second place, one point behind Zenit.
For the Russian national team, Safonov has made 14 appearances since his debut in June 2021, having participated in the European Championship that same year.
With the new reinforcement, PSG now has four goalkeepers in the squad, which also includes the Italian Gianluigi Donnarumma and the Spaniards Arnau Tenas and Sergio Rico. Keylor Navas, from Costa Rica, and Alexandre Letellier, from France, left the club.
