There’s no longer any doubt, at least not for a transfer that’s about to happen. Zabarnyi arrives at PSG, with the hope of seeing him confirm his place at the highest level. Paris believes in it, there are good reasons, it’s very clear with such an outlay. We can only hope that the Ukrainian will be up to the task, with some time to adapt probably necessary. For the moment, we’re mainly waiting for the official announcement.
