Ilya Zabarnyi, the 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 a certain progress towards a transfer to PSG. Fabrizio Romano assures today that the Parisian club is confident in the arrival (in the coming days) of the Ukrainian, but also that of Lucas Chevalier. He discusses the final phase of the file for Zabarnyi and the latest discussions for the French international.
When Romano begins to talk about the final stages of the deal, it means that things are not far from being finalized. For Zabarnyi, they’ve been waiting a long time for the deal to be finalized. The club probably waited until the player could prepare at his club (PSG players were on vacation) to accelerate his arrival. For Chevalier, everything happened more quickly, but we now expect more significant progress in both cases.
