PSG and Bournemouth Continue Talks for Zabarnyi

French football club PSG is in discussions with English side Bournemouth to sign Ukrainian defender Illia Zabarnyi. Talks between the two clubs have been going on for some time, but an agreement on the final transfer fee has not yet been reached.

While the clubs continue to negotiate, Zabarnyi has reportedly already agreed to his personal contract terms with PSG, which is said to be a five-year deal.

💬 PSG’s Interest and Player’s Agreement

Illia Zabarnyi is a key defensive target for PSG this season. The French club began talks with Bournemouth for the player even before the Champions League final took place. It is understood that Zabarnyi has already settled on a five-year contract with PSG, showing his interest in making the move to Paris.

💰 The Sticking Point: The Transfer Fee

Although the player has agreed to join, the transfer is not final because the two clubs are still discussing the price. Negotiations are continuing, but PSG and Bournemouth have yet to agree on a fee that satisfies both sides. This remains the main hurdle before the deal can be completed.

🛡️ Bournemouth’s Defensive Challenge

For Bournemouth, selling Zabarnyi could create a significant gap in their defense. The team has already seen another central defender, Dean Huijsen, move to Real Madrid. Losing a second key defender would present a major challenge for the club’s management as they prepare for the start of the new season.
