Ilya Zabarnyi, the 22-year-old central defender from Bournemouth (contract runs until 2028) and Ukraine, has been announced as a defensive priority for Paris Saint-Germain this mercato. Fabrizio Romano reports this Sunday that there is indeed an agreement between the player and PSG, but not yet with the English club.
The dossier seems to be quite concrete, with numerous confirmations. Including this one from a generally reliable journalist. However, the transfer is far from certain. Even if the agreement with Zabarnyi is a very encouraging step.
But we’ll still have to fight hard to recruit this excellent defender who is still full of promise. Paris seems determined, and a deal worth around 60 million euros looks possible. But it’s not done until it’s signed, and other outcomes remain possible.
