With the possible departure of Milan Skriniar, PSG could seek to strengthen in central defense. The name of Illya Zabarnyi was then circulated, but the Ukrainian from Bournemouth obviously does not want to come.

“Two positions that are ultra-connected in the field”
« It's not so much the fact that he's Russian, it's that he says to himself, I'm a central defender, there's a goalkeeper, we have two positions that are ultra-connected on the pitch, if ever, we have a problem, I don't want it to come to the point that I'm Ukrainian and he's Russian causing a problem in the squad », continued Tanzi on this file Zabarny.
