€66m signing for PSG, Al-Khelaïfi hails “a major contribution” | OneFootball

Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, president of Paris Saint-Germain since 2011, spoke on the club’s official website about the arrival of Ilya Zabarnyi at PSG, which was made official this Tuesday morning. Quite logically, the Parisian executive is delighted to see the 22-year-old defender sign from Bournemouth.

A €66 million transfer is always significant; it’s an important investment. All the more so for a defender, a position where prices are generally a bit lower than in attack. If PSG insisted with Bournemouth, it was not by chance. The Ukrainian international was specifically targeted to strengthen the squad immediately and to build for the future.

He fits perfectly into the Parisian project since 2023, with great talents full of ambition to achieve a remarkable career. They are here to grow, to assert themselves. Zabarnyi will be perfectly supported for this and we trust him to establish himself with his qualities. He could very well be a Parisian pillar for many years to come.
