Ilya Zabarnyi, a 22-year-old center back for Bournemouth (under contract until 2028) and Ukraine, has been announced as a defensive priority for Paris Saint-Germain in the transfer market. There is even talk of some progress toward a transfer. ESPN confirmed today that an agreement is close, with president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi reportedly involved in the deal.
The European champion is now close to a final agreement for Zabarnyi!
The deal is expected to be finalized early next week.
Nasser Al-Khelaïfi personally intervened in the Zabarnyi deal this week to seal the deal!
60 million euros fixed amount, but also bonuses.
The player has already reached an agreement with the club and is keen to join PSG.

BBC Sport also has an agreement in principle, with details still to be finalized. This is not enough to be sure that the transfer is imminent, but it is a very encouraging step forward after a period of inactivity. We are now hoping for confirmation, preferably official. This would “kick off” PSG’s transfer window.
However, we know that we must be cautious and patient during this period. Next week has been mentioned, but there is no certainty. We would not be surprised if it took longer.
As for Al-Khelaïfi, we remain skeptical about his famous involvement. This is often mentioned when a Parisian recruitment takes time. But the details are difficult to ascertain. And the most important thing remains unchanged: which leads will materialize and which will not.
