Ilya Zabarnyi, the 22-year-old central defender from Bournemouth (contract runs until 2029) and Ukraine, has been announced as one of Paris Saint-Germain’s defensive priorities for the mercato. There is even talk of some progress towards a transfer. Journalist Fabrizio Romano now claims that discussions are continuing between the clubs, while the player is keen to come.
A credible announcement, since he is a generally reliable journalist and all the media agree on the existence of PSG’s attempt. With Zabarnyi tempted. However, nothing is yet certain about a possible deal, let alone the timing. Some people are talking about a possible arrival in the next few days following the Club World Cup. It’s far from a sure thing.
Let’s wait and see. There’s hope of a great transfer, with a player who possesses excellent defensive and restarting qualities for a possible very bright future. But be warned: it’s not impossible to get stuck in, and a successful move to a new club is never totally guaranteed.
