At Paris Saint‑Germain, the young Italian goalkeeper Alessandro Longoni is about to return to the field after months of inactivity. The 2008 forward, who arrived at the Parisian club last summer with high expectations, has been kept out of the limelight due to a thigh muscle problem. His last appearance dates back to the beginning of September, when he played with the Espoirs team, before injury stopped him.
Longoni was born in Milan and developed his career in Milan's youth sector. Before moving to Paris, he won the European Under-17 championship with Italy in 2024 and contributed to Italy's third place at the Under-17 World Cup in 2025. With his 1.92 meters height, quick reflexes and confidence in handling the ball, the youngster has been compared to Donnarumma and fits Luis Enrique's model, which favors the participation of goalkeepers in building from the bottom.
Longoni is currently PSG's third goalkeeper, alongside Lucas Chevalier and Matvey Safonov. His main role is to complete the development path, rather than immediately compete for the first choice. However, after an individual recovery phase that began in mid-October, the club announced that the goalkeeper could return to training with the group in the next few days at the Poissy Campus, a fundamental step in regaining confidence and physical form.
The priority for Longoni is now to recover the best condition and get back into rhythm after the complicated months. Once his health status is confirmed, PSG will evaluate his future path within the team. Although the Italian talent has not yet had the opportunity to prove his worth in Paris, positive signs indicate that the young goalkeeper's return is now close.
