Ilya Zabarnyi, the 22-year-old central defender from Bournemouth (contract runs until 2028) and Ukraine, has been announced as a defensive priority for Paris Saint-Germain this mercato. There is even talk of some progress towards a transfer. Journalist Sacha Tavolieri confirmed on Friday that PSG are close to finalizing his transfer.
“Bournemouth and PSG have an agreement in principle for Ilya Zabarnyi!
Details are still being ironed out, but the Ukrainian is set to sign a 5-year contract with Paris Saint-Germain in the coming weeks.”
This is further confirmation of PSG’s progress in negotiations, and we can only hope that it’s not for nothing. Even if it’s not enough to be certain. There is hope that Zabarnyi, a defender who is already very strong in duels and recovery with a great future ahead of him, will arrive in Paris. We still need official confirmation.
All the more so if we are to be sure of the price tag, which was last mooted at around 60 million euros. An investment that shows the club’s confidence in the Ukrainian’s qualities.
