Ilya Zabarnyi, the 22-year-old central defender from Bournemouth (contract runs until 2029) and Ukraine, has been announced as one of Paris Saint-Germain’s defensive priorities for the mercato. There is even talk of some progress towards a transfer. Sky Sport, via its journalist Luca Bendoni, reports today that the English club remains very firm in negotiations.
Nothing impossible, especially as there’s nothing very advanced. Above all, we can see that the Zabarnyi dossier remains complicated for PSG, or other interested clubs. Logically, Bournemouth have already made some big sales this summer. There’s no financial concern, just the need to keep a bit of stability.
The transfer is not impossible, but Paris will have to fight, negotiate and make a certain expenditure. It may come, but there’s no need to rush. This PSG no longer throws its weight around, it takes its time.
Let’s wait and find out more about this dossier and the rest of the mercato. There’s still a lot of time to go, and the Club World Cup will certainly have to be finished before we can get down to business.
