According to multiple reports, PSG have reached an advanced stage in negotiations to sign the 22-year-old Ukrainian centre-back.<\/p><p>As per reports from renowned journalists Nicolo Schira and Fabrizio Romano, the deal could cost up to &euro;70 million. Zabarnyi joined Bournemouth from Dynamo Kyiv in January 2023 for &euro;22.7 million. He has now emerged as a top target for PSG this summer.&nbsp;<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#128680; Both Lucas Chevalier and Ilya Zabarnyi are hopeful to get their moves to Paris Saint-Germain done in the upcoming days.<br><br>Both deals are at final stages and expected to happen. &#10084;&#65039;&#128153; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/I5jgOBhmRx\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/I5jgOBhmRx<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FabrizioRomano\/status\/1951885744496058835?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>August 3, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>Reportedly, Zabarnyi has already agreed personal terms with the French club, saying yes to a five-year deal.
