Ilya Zabarnyi, a 22-year-old center back for Bournemouth (under contract until 2028) and Ukraine, has been announced as a defensive priority for Paris Saint-Germain in the transfer window. There is even talk of some progress toward a transfer. Journalist Fabrizio Romano confirmed today that a transfer is imminent.
After weeks of waiting, Zabarnyi finally seems to be getting closer to PSG. This is undoubtedly because Paris took its time after securing the player’s commitment. He was able to take part in Bournemouth’s summer training camp while the Parisian squad is on vacation until August 6 after playing in the Club World Cup until the end. This may not be the only reason, but it could be a factor.
In any case, several media outlets are now reporting that an agreement is close. We hope for official confirmation soon. For the moment, there have only been rumors surrounding this deal, leaving some doubt about the transfer, which is estimated to be worth €70 million in total.
