Transfer news: PSG €5m short of major summer signing | OneFootball

22-year-old central defender Ilya Zabarnyi, who is contracted to Bournemouth until 2028 and plays for Ukraine, has been announced as a defensive priority for Paris Saint-Germain in the transfer market. There is even talk of a certain progress towards a transfer. RMC Sport announces today that the player's willingness to sign in Paris is decisive, as PSG gradually approaches the English club's request. Without being there yet.

“The player's determination to join PSG this summer is a strong argument”

“no agreement in principle has been validated by the Cherries.”

As always, we remain cautious since this is still just a rumor. It is difficult to have certainties without the slightest concrete element. But all the media agree on Zabarnyi's will, we can hope that it's not for nothing.

Now we need an agreement between the clubs, some are impatient. However, PSG is not in a hurry. The professional group does not resume training until August 6, having a recruit much earlier would not be very useful. Even negative, since the player would not be in the best conditions for his preparation.

We even come to think that PSG is taking its time on purpose, after securing (or almost) the player's will. For the moment, there is no concern in the Zabarnyi file. We expect an acceleration soon. If the mentioned gap is roughly correct, it can go very quickly.
