Paris Saint-Germain must complete Ilya Zabarnyi’s signature after Bournemouth’s defender completed his doctor with PSG.
After agreeing on a five -year contract with the Champions League headlines, Zabarnyi will now join PSG and will become his first signing out of the field in a quiet summer for Luis Enrique.
Goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier completed his lille transfer on Sunday and seems to be installed as PSG’s new number one Gianluigi Donnarumma left his staff for UEFA Super Cup Game with Tottenham on Wednesday.
Zabarnyi follows Dean Huijsen and Milos Kerkez when leaving Bournemouth for new pastures. His central center, Hujsen, joined Real Madrid while Kerkez on the left signed for Liverpool.
The departure of the International Ukraine puts Bournemouth in a difficult place, with the manager Andoni Iraola granting the reality of the situation when he spoke with the BBC Solent radio after his friendly end of the preseason against Real Sociedad.
“We need two new power plants,” said Iraola. “It will be impossible to replace those that have remained, but the best central centers we can find, the club works there.”
How will Bournemouth Zabarnyi replace?
Although Iraola essentially described Zabarnyi and Huijsen as irreplaceable, Bournemouth is expected to fill the vacuum.
Cherries are close to hitting an agreement with Lille for Bafode Diakite.
Diakite will reach an initial share of 30.3 million pounds plus 4.3 million pounds in accessories. The young man, 24, joined Lille from Toulouse in 2022 and has made 85 appearances in the club since then, 10 times in his champions league campaign last season.
Eager to sign a second center, Bournemouth is also said to be an admirer of Josh Acheampong in Chelsea.
When will Zabarnyi debut your PSG?
Zabarnyi appeared 86 times in all competitions for Bournemouth after being part of Dynamo Kyiv in January 2022.
But he could face a brief wait to make his PSG debut once he announced his signature.
The movement is too late for Zabarnyi to be involved in the supercope, while the opening of Sunday 1 of the 1 League in Nantes is also likely to represent a change that is too tight.
The first home game of PSG’s new season, which see them in Les Angles a week on Friday, seems to be the setting for Zabarnyi’s debut.
