Ilya Zabarnyi, a 22-year-old central defender from Bournemouth (contract until 2028) and Ukraine, has been announced as a defensive priority for Paris Saint-Germain for the transfer window. There is even talk of progress towards a transfer to PSG. Journalist Abdellah Boulma announced today that the two clubs have made progress in their discussions.
“UPDATE: Zabarnyi case, meeting between the parties tuesday. Paris and Bournemouth are getting closer, but it’s not yet finalized. Discussions to follow. (Yes, it’s long).”
This announcement is entirely credible, consistent with other rumors circulating in the past few hours. Even if we remain cautious about details, such as the exact timing and the amount of the offer, it seems likely that Zabarnyi will join PSG this summer. And soon.
Be careful, there will only be certainty with an official announcement. So, we’ll have to wait a little longer, without ruling out a surprise outcome.
