PARIS: European champions Paris Saint-Germain announced on Tuesday they have signed Ukrainian center-back Illia Zabarnyi from Premier League club Bournemouth. “Paris Saint-Germain are excited to welcome Illia Zabarnyi,” PSG said in a statement, adding that he would be the first Ukrainian ever to play for the club. Zabarnyi, 22, had an impressive 2024-2025 season in England and his arrival in the French capital is expected to put pressure on PSG’s Brazilian stalwart Marquinhos in central defense.

Bournemouth's Illia Zabarnyi joins Paris St-Germain in a £57m deal as the Cherries' sales of defenders this summer reaches £147m.
