Bournemouth and Paris Saint-Germain have resumed talks over a deal for defender Illya Zabarnyi, with the Cherries resetting their estimations.
That’s according to journalist Santi Aouna, who reports that Bournemouth have set a more ‘reasonable’ price regarding the Ukrainian defender.
PSG have reportedly targeted the 22-year-old as a top target this summer as the look to strengthen their Champions League winning squad.
Bournemouth have proven to be resistant to any deal, setting a big asking price for the defender after already losing Dean Huijsen to Real Madrid this summer.
They’ve set a big asking price on the player as he’s a key player under Andoni Iraola, forming a particularly solid relationship with Huijsen last season.
Aouna now reports that they’ve changed their stance and are being ‘more reasonable’ over their asking price. That’s led to negotiations being resumed between them and PSG over him. The French giants haven’t made a new offer yet, though.
They have, though, already secured a personal agreement with Zabarnyi on a contract until 2030 so that is one major hurdle already cleared. Now they have to find an agreement with Bournemouth but with conversations now in a more healthy place, it may be a case of when not if.
