Throughout the summer, there was a saga regarding Ilya Zabarniy’s transfer from Bournemouth. Eventually, the Ukrainian became a player for PSG.

The PSG management took precautions regarding the complex situation surrounding players from hostile countries. After the transfer was finalized, a meeting was organized between the players to discuss many difficult issues. It is noted that it led to nothing. Many factors visibly support this.
Zabarniy completely ignores Safonov; they do not communicate at all, so their communication at the club is reduced to zero. It is also telling that the Russian is the only PSG player that the Ukrainian defender has not followed on social media.
Zabarniy may debut for the Parisians as early as August 17. In the first round match of the French Championship, PSG will play away against Nantes.
