Footballer Matvey Safonov, who plays for PSG, has traveled from Paris back to Krasnodar.
Matvey Safonov, a prominent member of the Paris Saint-Germain football team and the Russian national team, has successfully resolved his long-standing legal disputes with his former wife, Anastasia Kazakevich. The footballer has fully paid off his alimony debt, which amounted to over 64 million rubles as of June 25, 2025.
Safonov's debt settlement and the subsequent withdrawal of the bankruptcy application were reported after June 25, 2025. The news came as a relief for the footballer, who had been unable to fly to Russia from 2024 due to these legal disputes.
In a court ruling from 2024, Safonov was ordered to pay Kazakevich an amount exceeding 60 million rubles. As per the ruling, Safonov was required to transfer a quarter of his income for the maintenance of their daughter, Masha.
Following the settlement, Anastasia Kazakevich's representatives initiated the withdrawal of the application for the recognition of Matvey Safonov as bankrupt. This means that Safonov is no longer under threat of bankruptcy.
Safonov returned to the Krasnodar region from Europe on July 16, 2023, and was spotted in the Festival Microdistrict of the regional capital, owning property in an elite residential complex. He is currently enjoying his vacation in the Krasnodar region with his loved ones.
Despite the resolution of his legal disputes, Safonov finds it difficult to adjust to the time difference, waking up at 5:30 due to jet lag. However, he was recently called up to the Russian national team for matches against Nigeria and Belarus, following the settlement of his debt obligations.
It is worth noting that as of now, there is no publicly available information or official updates regarding Matvey Safonov's alimony debt status following any 2024 court ruling. If you are seeking specific details, you might consider checking recent legal records, news outlets, or official court documents related to the case.
After the resolution of Matvey Safonov's alimony debt, Safonov began to engage in various entertainment activities. The footballer was spotted attending a charity event honoring celebrities and athletes, revealing his interest in the glamorous world of sports entertainment. Moreover, with the bankruptcy threat withdrawn, Safonov's focus returned to his football career, making a comeback on the field by playing in a series of sports matches, including football games.
