PSG: Zabarnyi arrives and Donnarumma could be loaned

Paris Saint-Germain continues to strengthen its workforce with the finalisation of the transfer of 22-year-old Ukrainian defender Illya Zabarnyi for an amount of 63 million euros plus 3 million bonuses. The player’s arrival is imminent, with a planned come to Paris on Monday to finalize his five-year contract. This recruit, from the Kiev Dynamo and currently operating in Bournemouth, is seen as a solid and experienced reinforcement for Paris’ central defence, perfectly responding to the profile sought by Luis Enrique. The aim is to formalize its arrival before Wednesday in order to make it available for the European Supercup against Tottenham.

In parallel with these defensive movements, the PSG is preparing for the future of goaltender Gianluigi Donnarumma. Faced with the impossibility of extending the contract, the club is considering a loan to avoid a free loss next summer. Several European clubs, including Manchester City, Bayern Munich and Galatasaray, would be interested in the young guardian. This situation comes as Lucas Chevalier becomes the new PSG number one, having signed a five-year contract after a successful medical visit and rapid integration into the club.

Lucas Chevalier’s upcoming arrival aroused great emotion among Parisian fans, particularly during a return from Adrien Rabiot to the Parc des Princes. The supporters reserved a hostile welcome to the midfield, expressing their dissatisfaction with his departure for a historical rival. This incident revived the debate about the behaviour of supporters in stadiums and the need to protect the families of the players. Despite these tensions, the club and the player seem determined to turn the page and approach this new season with ambition, relying on a reinforced staff and a clear goal: the conquest of new titles.
