Over the last few weeks, PSG have been keen on Bournemouth’s Illya Zabarnyi, but the talks between the two sides are challenging as each club stands firm.
L’Équipe’s Loïc Tanzi reported that PSG have opened talks with Bournemouth over a potential deal for Illia Zabarnyi. The 22-year-old is reportedly interested in the move ahead of the FIFA Club World Cup, but Bournemouth are holding firm on a €70 million asking price.
More recently, RMC Sport’s Fabrice Hawkins reported that the Zabarnyi-to-PSG situation hasn’t seen much progress in recent days. PSG have submitted two offers, with the latest nearing €60 million, as negotiations are still ongoing.
