Paris Saint-Germain has held further conversations about a move for Bournemouth Center Back Ilya Zabarnyi.
The Ukrainian, who is one of a number of cherry stars that has had something of a breakthrough season under Andoni Iraola in the Vitality Stadium, is happy to be on the move.
The outfit of the south coast has already seen Dean Huijsen leave for £ 50 million to Real Madrid, and Liverpool is discussing a movement for Left Back Milos Kerkez about a deal that could reach no less than £ 45 million.
To also lose Zabarnyi, Iraola would leave Iraola with an Almighty Rebuild during the summer and compiled a brilliant side based on defensive bravery that went beyond the record premier competition of the club and points.
Only five teams in the top flight gave fewer goals last season than Iraola’s side, which ended ninth in the rankings.
The Ukrainian defender Zabarnyi has caught the eye since he joined the cherries of Dynamo Kyiv in January 2023.

Andoni Iraola could get a huge rebuild this summer after he had already lost Dean Huijsen
The 22-year-old started last season, except for three League matches from Bournemouth and he was suspended for two of them, because he soon became one of the most important players in the team.
The Cherries have already asked for a movement for Bologna’s Coppa Italia Winning Center Back Jhon Lucumi, with Huijsen already out the door and on his way to Madrid.
The 26-year-old has 28 caps for Colombia, but Bournemouth will be confronted with competition with Serie A Giants Inter Milan that also shows interest.
In what is a busy summer for them, Bournemouth also asked PSV attacker Johan Bakayoko and are willing to make an offer in the £ 20 million region to secure his services.
The 22-year-old Belgium International was followed by a number of Premier League clubs and Bournemouth wants to strengthen their attacking options for manager Andoni Iraola.
The cherries are determined to strengthen, despite the fact that their talented team is the target of Elite European clubs.
Bakayoko impressed Liverpool in the Champions League this season and was the subject of a failed £ 17 million by Burnley in 2023.
