“Ilia Zabarnyi arrives in Paris. PSG and Bournemouth have reached an agreement in principle for around €66 million.Five-year contract for the Ukrainian central defender”
Sacha Tavolieri :
“Ilya Zabarnyi to Paris Saint Germain, it’s a done deal! AFC Bournemouth and PSG reached a full agreement this Friday for €70 million, including bonuses. A five-year contract. Zabarnyi has been given permission to travel.”
Everyone agrees that PSG has finally finalized Zabarnyi’s arrival. While Bournemouth seemed intent on finding his replacement before giving the green light, the Ukrainian is expected to arrive in Paris in the next few hours to undergo a medical and sign his contract. As for the transfer fee, it’s estimated to be between €66 million and €70 million. A small difference for a significant investment.
