PSG is following Kobel closely

PSG have asked for information about Gregor Kobel, Borussia Dortmund’s 28-year-old Swiss goalkeeper, according to Sport Bild. The Parisian club is considering him at an estimated value of around €40 million – although the goalkeeper is negotiating a possible renewal with the German club, with a contract until 2028.

Trust in Safonov – but the market is kept open

PSG’s sports management is keeping open the possibility of bringing in a new goalkeeper. Despite Luis Enrique’s public confidence in Matvey Safonov, the French club has on several occasions gathered information about Kobel’s situation and his future plans. So far, this follow-up has not led to a formal offer to Borussia Dortmund.

The search for alternatives does not imply that the Asturian coach has ruled out Safonov. The Russian has played a leading role in goals, but PSG are studying the market to assess their options for the upcoming windows. Kobel’s profile responds to this plan and places the Swiss international among the names the club is considering.

Kobel has made nine Bundesliga appearances in the 2026/27 season, according to the competition’s official records. The goalkeeper joined Borussia Dortmund in 2021 from Stuttgart and has been a regular throughout his five seasons with the team.

Dortmund will renew before 2028

The main obstacle for PSG is the goalkeeper’s contract situation. Kobel has signed until June 2028, but Borussia Dortmund wants to start talks to extend his contract and reach a deal before the end of 2026. The German club’s intention is to decide the future of their starting player as quickly as possible.

The footballer will be open to continuing at Dortmund, although the renewal is yet to be completed. The information published in Germany suggests that both parties want to extend the relationship – but interest from other teams keeps the possibility of a change of scenery open.

On a financial level, the €40 million appears to be an estimate of Kobel’s value in the information about the Parisian interests. This is not an offer from PSG or an amount that Borussia Dortmund has confirmed as the starting price.

The calendar can be crucial

Dortmund intends to move forward with the renewal before the end of the year, while PSG will continue to follow the goalkeeper’s response and the progress of the negotiations.
