Paris Saint-Germain formalized its second summer recruit with the arrival of Illya Zabarnyi, a 22-year-old Ukrainian central defender. According to Nicolò Schira, the Parisian club found an agreement in principle with Bournemouth for the transfer of the player, whose price would be 68 million euros. Zabarnyi, already international on 35 occasions, is recognized as a promising talent in Europe, appreciated for its strength and maturity, and quickly emerged as a key element of the English team. He signed a five-year contract with the PSG until June 2030, demonstrating his ambition to take a new level in his career.

This signature underscores Paris Saint-Germain’s desire to strengthen its defence, a priority for the club after the recent arrival of young goaltender Renato Marin. The acquisition of Zabarnyi complements the defensive sector and demonstrates a comprehensive strategy to build a competitive workforce for the coming season. The club now focuses on the signature of the LOSC goaltender Lucas Chevalier, a track that seems well advanced.

The summer of the champions of Europe will therefore be rich in movements. The PSG is actively engaged in building a strong team that can compete at all levels as soon as the competitions resume, scheduled this Wednesday. These reinforcements demonstrate a clear ambition: to consolidate the staff and ensure the club’s sustainability on the national and European stage. Zabarnyi’s arrival is an important step in this direction, strengthening confidence in the future of Paris Saint-Germain.
