Paris: European champions Paris Saint-Germain said on Tuesday they have signed Ukrainian centre-back Illia Zabarnyi from Premier League club Bournemouth.
British media reports said the deal was worth around £57 million ($76.7 million, 66 million euros).
"Paris Saint-Germain are excited to welcome Illia Zabarnyi," PSG said in a statement, adding he would be the first Ukrainian ever to play for the club.
The arrival of Zabarnyi, 22, could jeopardise the place of Brazilian stalwart Marquinhos in the starting lineup.
Zabarnyi had an impressive 2024-2025 season in England when Bournemouth finished ninth and the club's supporters voted him their player of the season in the previous campaign.
