Transfers – Zabarnyi offered to Liverpool!

Ilya Zabarnyi, the 23-year-old Paris Saint-Germain and Ukraine defender, did not fully manage to convince in his first season following his 2025 move from Bournemouth. So, rumors are now emerging for the summer 2026 transfer window. Dave Ockop claims that the player has been offered to Liverpool, who are looking to replace Ibrahima Konaté (27 years old, out of contract and reportedly heading to Real Madrid) this summer.

“The club has simply been presented with this option and it seems that an initial dialogue has taken place.”

Liverpool have been offered the chance to explore a potential transfer for Paris Saint-Germain defender Ilya Zabarnyi. This proposal could prove interesting for the Reds. Discussions are currently only at an exploratory stage. The club has simply been presented with this option and it seems that an initial dialogue has taken place. Zabarnyi is said to be unhappy with his situation in the French capital, and Paris Saint-Germain would be willing to sell him if their conditions are met. With Andoni Iraola (coach) tipped to take over at Anfield and already familiar with Zabarnyi’s qualities from their time together at Bournemouth, Liverpool must now decide whether to turn these exploratory talks into genuine interest in a transfer.”

Nothing is impossible, with Liverpool needing defensive reinforcements and Zabarnyi having not yet truly established himself at PSG. It is something worth considering. Especially with the likely arrival of a coach under whom he had shone at Bournemouth.

However, this is only a rumor, and it is also a bit “easy.” Players whose first season has been mixed are often reported as being on the way out, and that is far from always becoming reality. The media often move too quickly. PSG and Zabarnyi may also want to continue together, and the defender would not be the first player to show more of his qualities after a first season.

For now, it is all far too vague. We can expect more rumors to surface around the Ukrainian, and we will wait for something concrete before being certain.
