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. Journalist Fabrizio Romano confirms the announcement made by other media earlier this Saturday: everything is finally settled between the two clubs.
Finally, everyone (or almost everyone) agrees that this file should be finalized. It won’t be completely finalized until the official announcement, but it seems to be close. The last suspenseful thing missing is the exact timing of the medical and the announcement. This will logically take place in the next few days. Zabarnyi will be a Parisian this season, with a transfer estimated at €66 million including bonuses. A very significant outlay for a defender.
