Paris Saint-Germain’s pursuit of Illya Zabarnyi has hit a wall. Despite weeks of interest, the club is struggling to strike a deal with Bournemouth, who are holding firm on a €70M asking price—while PSG refuse to go above €60M.
Enter Nasser Al-Khelaïfi. According to RMC, the PSG president has now personally taken over the negotiations. And when NAK gets involved, it usually means things are getting serious in Paris.
Bournemouth are in no rush to sell. Financially secure after the recent sales of Dean Huijsen to Real Madrid and Milos Kerkez to Liverpool, the English club is playing hardball. Meanwhile, Tottenham remains in the race, adding further pressure.
However, PSG may receive a financial boost: the resale of Hugo Ekitike from Frankfurt to Liverpool could earn them over €15M in bonuses. Enough to close the gap?
The saga continues—but Al-Khelaïfi’s involvement might just tip the balance.
