PSG submit offer for Bournemouth’s Illia Zabarnyi | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain have submitted an offer for Bournemouth centre-back Illia Zabarnyi (22), according to a report from RMC Sport journalist Fabrice Hawkins.

PSG are looking to wrap up the signing of a centre-back before the start of the FIFA Club World Cup and Zabarnyi has now emerged as the priority target. As per L’Équipe, the European champions are looking for a young player, who would be able to replace Marquinhos in the long term. The Brazilian could leave PSG this summer, and even if he does remain at the Parc des Princes, it is thought that his game time will reduce.

Hawkins understands that Les Parisiens’ sporting director, Luís Campos, was in Bournemouth on Monday morning, just a matter of hours after the club’s triumph in the Champions League final, to discuss a move for the Ukrainian centre-back. He is keen to join PSG and has already agreed to join, whilst PSG are looking to quickly wrap up a deal. In parallel, the club are working on a deal for another centre-back, who also plays in the Premier League. The identity of the player has not been revealed.
