Paris Saint-Germain considers Illia Zabarnyi departure

Paris Saint-Germain is reportedly considering the departure of Ukrainian defender Illia Zabarnyi during the January 2027 transfer window. Zabarnyi, who joined the club from Bournemouth in the summer of 2025 for over €60 million, has struggled to secure a consistent role in the squad.

Reports suggest that manager Luis Enrique has shown a lack of faith in the 24-year-old, who has seen limited playing time. If the club decides to part ways with Zabarnyi, they are looking at potential replacements, with Atletico Madrid defender Marc Pubill emerging as a primary target. Pubill, a versatile 23-year-old who has featured for the Spanish national team, is viewed as a strong candidate due to his ability to play both as a right-back and a right-sided centre-back.
