PSG is interested in acquiring defender of English Bournemouth and the Ukrainian national team Ilya Zabarny.

However, the Parisians had problems with the implementation of this transfer - the Ukrainian football player refused the transfer due to the presence in the French team of a representative of a terrorist country, Russian goalkeeper Matvey Safonov.

Journalist Loic Tanzi spoke about this on the 100% PSG podcast, la tribune.

" He said: “If Safonov is in the lineup, I won’t be able to transfer.”. Zabarny understands that he is a central defender, and that is a goalkeeper, and these are two extremely related positions on the field. He doesn’t want it to get to the point where problems could arise in the team due to the fact that he is Ukrainian and that other is Russian,” the Le10sport journalist quotes.

At the same time, it is reported that PSG does not give up hope of strengthening Zabarny and may say goodbye to Safonov in order to sign the Ukrainian defender.

“PSG even raised the issue of selling Safonov in order to sign Zabarny,” added Tanzi.

Note that this season Zabarny played 20 matches for Bournemouth in the English Premier League.

It was previously reported that PSG is working on a transfer of the Napoli star.
