Signed by Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2025 from Bournemouth for £53.6m (€63m), Illya Zabarnyi was supposed to strengthen competition at centre-back and eventually become Marquinhos' successor. However, the Ukrainian centre-back did not really convince during his first season in Paris.
This new campaign confirms Luis Enrique's lack of faith in him. The 24-year-old has played only two matches and has not yet featured in Ligue 1. According to PSG Inside Actus , the Ukrainian could be a player to watch in the January transfer window.
