Paris Saint-Germain have made a £55million bid for Bournemouth centre-back Illya Zabarnyi, talkSPORT understands.
talkSPORT previously mentioned that the Cherries could be open to selling the Ukraine international, who signed in January 2023.
Zabarnyi is on PSG’s radar this summerGettyBournemouth finished ninth in the Premier League, but have already seen another key defensive option in Dean Huijsen depart.
The Spaniard has joined Real Madrid in a £50m deal, and left-back Milos Kerkez is on the verge of joining Liverpool for £40m.
And now European champions PSG could also be set to dismantle the Bournemouth defence with their interest in Zabarnyi.
Formerly of FC Dynamo Kyiv, the 22-year-old has started 75 of his 78 Premier League appearances across two-and-a-half seasons.
Zabarnyi was also crowned as the Bournemouth Supporters’ Player of the Season for the 2023/24 campaign.
Aside from the interest in their defenders, the south coast outfit may also run the risk of losing two of their star attackers.
talkSPORT understands Bayer Leverkusen have called Bournemouth to enquire about the availability of Justin Kluivert.
Meanwhile, as reported in May, Antoine Semenyo has held talks with Manchester United over a potential summer move.
Kluivert and Semenyo finished as Bournemouth’s joint top scorers in the 2024/25 campaign – firing in 13 goals in all competitions.
Despite the potential outgoings, Bournemouth have already been active in the transfer market ahead of the new season.
Zabarnyi could be one of three defenders to leave BournemouthGetty Iraola is set to name a new-look defence next seasonGettyAdrien Truffert has signed in a reported £14.4m deal from Rennes as their left-back replacement for Kerkez.
The 23-year-old has put pen to paper on a five-year deal at the club.
Should Zabarnyi leave Bournemouth, they will bank around £145m from his, Huijsen and Kerkez’s sales.
Such funds will help a summer rebuild, with Truffert surely the first of the new arrivals on the south coast.
Andoni Iraola is on course for his third season as Bournemouth boss, although his contract expires next summer.
