Paris Saint-Germain did not drop in the Illya Zabarnyi file. The Ukrainian defender must be recruited as quickly as possible by Parisians. The Russian goalkeeper Matvey Safonov will be sacrificed to pacify the locker room.
A European title does not guarantee any transfer. Paris Saint-Germain understood this with the case Illya Zabarnyi. The Ukrainian defender has been coveted since the start of the summer. The latter is seduced by the project sold by the recent winner of the Champions League. Nevertheless, his arrival is impossible with the presence of Matvey Safonov at the club. Cordering a Russian goalkeeper is impossible while Vladimir Putin's army has invaded his country. Enough to have the file dragged when competition is organized, especially Chelsea.
It's over for Safonov at PSG
Only one solution to avoid losing Zabarnyi and to sign it for the end of the World Cup: Safonov from the Parisian club. A cruel scenario since goalkeeper number 2 of PSG had a correct first season in France. He showed a good state of mind, being a reliable partner for Gianluigi Donnarumma. The Russian is not completely foreign in the Renaissance of the Italian in the second half of the season. Safonov has a beautiful popularity rating in the locker room but that is not enough. Its future is sealed according to the Ukrainian site 112.ua.
