The appearance of Bournemouth’s attacker, Illya Zabarnyi, in New York with his companion, sparked intense speculation, especially given the simultaneous presence of Paris Saint-Germain in the United States for the World Cup of Clubs. This journey, visibly assumed by the player, occurs while sources indicate a potential agreement between Zabarnyi and the PSG for a five-year contract. The Ukrainian defender would be very interested in a transfer to the Parisian club, attracted by the sports project and the stature of the defending European Champion.

However, this American stay proved to be brief, Zabarnyi having already returned to Europe and resumed training with Bournemouth. This return to the team is all the more notable as negotiations between the two clubs for a transfer remain blocked. After two offers of €50 million and €65 million, the English club wants to make sure to have a replacement before releasing its player.

From this perspective, Bournemouth is actively negotiating with the LOSC for the acquisition of Bafodé Diaité, which has agreed to join the English club and agreed on the terms of a contract. Pending a final resolution of this situation, Zabarnyi will continue his preparation with Bournemouth, hoping to soon evolve on the lawn of the Princes Park.
