Bournemouth Brace to Lose €70M-Rated Newcastle United Target as PSG Hopeful to Close Deal

On Tuesday, Football Insider reported that Bournemouth are bracing themselves to lose Zabarnyi this summer transfer window. The report claims that look increasingly likely to land Zabarnyi, with the Champions League winners pushing to bring the Ukraine international to the French capital.

The center-back was a key figure for Andoni Iraola last season, and losing him would be another major blow for the Spanish manager. PSG are hoping to finalize the deal soon, with talks between the two clubs progressing well.

Recently, RMC Sport’s Fabrice Hawkins reported that there’s growing confidence among all parties that Illya Zabarnyi will be wearing a PSG jersey next season.

The Ukrainian defender is determined to join the French champions and has already reached a contract agreement with the club through 2030. Negotiations between PSG and Bournemouth are still ongoing, but the Parisian side is preparing a new offer in hopes of finalizing the transfer.

Still, PSG could face a challenge in securing the talented defender, as The iPaper reported that Zabarnyi, a serious target for Newcastle and admired by Manchester City, is believed to have a starting price tag of around £50 million. A transfer isn’t done until the player is holding the jersey, so it will be interesting to see if PSG can get this deal over the line.
