Bournemouth Stick to Bold €70M Asking Price for Newcastle United, PSG Transfer Target
PSG are expected to prioritize signing a center-back this summer, and Bournemouth ace Illya Zabarnyi remains high on their list. But bringing in the Ukrainian defender is proving to be far from straightforward.
The Parisians have embraced a youth-first approach in recent transfer windows, adding the likes of Lucas Beraldo and Willian Pacho. That strategy appears set to continue heading into the summer.
According to L’Équipe’s Loïc Tanzi, PSG have already opened talks with Bournemouth over a potential deal for Zabarnyi. The 22-year-old is reportedly open to the move, especially with the FIFA Club World Cup on the horizon, but Bournemouth are holding firm on their €70 million price tag.
More recently, EuroSport’s Romain Collet-Gaudin reported that the deal is close to being finalized, with Zabarnyi expected to join PSG after the Club World Cup.

Therefore, the young winger is widely expected to leave the club this summer, and he reportedly has several suitors vying for his services.
Nottingham Forest failed to sign Mbangula & Weah
In recent days, Nottingham Forest entered the fray, and even received the green light to negotiate with Mbangula and his teammate, Timothy Weah.

However, this move may have backfired, as both players were left disgruntled by their treatment and have turned down the opportunity to join Forest.
Nevertheless, Il Corriere dello Sport (via JuventusNews24) reveals that Mbangula’s future could still lie in the Premier League, as Bournemouth have set their sights on the youngster.
