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. The defender confirmed his upcoming arrival on social media, liking journalist Fabrizio Romano’s post on the subject.
This may seem like almost nothing, but it’s actually a pretty clear confirmation. We’ve always seen a player sign for PSG after engaging in such activity on social media, even though they’re heavily monitored. The suspense now lies in the exact timing, with some doubt as to whether Zabarnyi will play this Wednesday against Tottenham in the European Super Cup.
