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 now talk of an imminent transfer to PSG. RMC Sport announced today that the medical is finally scheduled, and the English club has given permission for the trip.
“Illia Zabarnyi has received the green light from Bournemouth to travel. All documents between the clubs have been signed. He has said goodbye to his teammates. The defender will be in Paris this evening. A medical and signing are to follow.”
Once this stage arrives, it takes a very big surprise for a transfer not to be completed. Beware of unpleasant surprises during the medical, which is rare but not impossible. We should still be able to welcome the Ukrainian back very soon.
It was about time; this file has been long and the season is coming up very quickly. We hope that Zabarnyi can quickly adapt to the Parisian team. So his freshness could be beneficial, with a full preparation at Bournemouth.
