Paris, France – Paris FC, the recently promoted Ligue 1 club, has officially announced the acquisition of veteran goalkeeper Kevin Trapp from Eintracht Frankfurt. Both clubs have confirmed the transfer of the 35-year-old Germany international, marking a significant reinforcement for the Parisian side`s upcoming top-flight campaign.
Trapp, well-known for his previous tenure with Paris Saint-Germain, has committed to a three-year contract with Paris FC. This move signifies his return to the French capital, where he spent four years with PSG between 2015 and 2019, making a total of 91 appearances. He arrived in Paris earlier this week to successfully complete his medical examination, finalizing the terms of his new deal.
The signing of Trapp aligns with Paris FC`s strategy to bolster their squad with experienced players following their promotion to France`s premier football division. The club was actively seeking an accomplished goalkeeper to enhance their defensive line and provide a strong presence between the posts. Trapp is expected to bring invaluable leadership and foster healthy competition for the club`s current first-choice goalkeeper, Obed Nkambadio.
Nkambadio started in Paris FC`s recent opening-day 1-0 defeat against Angers SCO. All indications suggest that Kevin Trapp is anticipated to make his debut for Paris FC this Saturday, when the team faces Marseille in what promises to be a highly anticipated fixture.
