Paris Saint-Germain are not wasting any time this summer.
While most clubs are still figuring out who to keep and who to buy, the French and European champions are already closing in on their first big signing.
Luis Enrique’s side is currently competing in the Club World Cup. They managed a strong win over Atletico Madrid but slipped up against Botafogo.
However, behind the scenes, the real action is happening in the transfer market.
The Parisian club has been working quietly but efficiently on a key deal.
Their focus is on a young defender who has impressed many during his time in England.
With the player already giving the green light for a long-term contract until 2030, only one step remained, and that is reaching an agreement with his club.
And now, that too seems nearly done. According to Foot Mercato, PSG and Bournemouth are in the final stages of talks.
While a few details are still being discussed, the fee is expected to be around €60 million.
The defender is known for his strong positioning, calmness under pressure, and smart decision-making.
After two solid seasons in the Premier League, Ilya Zabarnyi has become one of the most promising defenders in Europe and is the man PSG are about to bring in.
The Ukrainian international, with nearly 50 caps already at just 21, will now add even more depth to a PSG defence that already includes Marquinhos, William Pacho, and Lucas Beraldo.
Zabarnyi also fits the club’s new strategy, signing young players with potential to build a long-term future.
The deal is not yet official, but it is almost there. A few more formalities, and Ilya Zabarnyi could be holding up a PSG shirt before the week ends.
