Reports from L’Équipe indicate that Paris Saint-Germain`s attempt to sign Bournemouth central defender Illia Zabarnyi (22) has hit a roadblock. Discussions between the English Premier League side and the Champions League holders have reached an impasse.
According to L’Équipe, a deal hinges on PSG making an improved financial offer. However, the Parisian club is reportedly reluctant to satisfy the financial requirements of both the Cherries and Zabarnyi`s representatives to secure the 22-year-old`s signature for the upcoming season.
Potential Club World Cup Boost
PSG, the Ligue 1 titleholders, have already guaranteed significant earnings from their participation in the FIFA Club World Cup this summer. By reaching the final, they have secured €90 million in prize money. Should the Paris club triumph over Chelsea in the final, their total prize money would rise by an additional €33.9 million, which might influence their position on signing the Ukrainian defender.
