Liverpool has resumed talks with Liverpool's surroundings, Illia Zabarnyi, a 23-year-old center from PSG, to address his transfer in this summer transfer market, where the Red team is focused on improving their squad.

Anfield's club is considering signing the Ukrainian international to strengthen Andoni Iraola's defense, in an operation where the Parisian club demands to amortize the 57 million pounds they paid to Bournemouth.

The origin of the conversations between Liverpool and Illia Zabarnyi's surroundings

As revealed by DaveOCKOP, Zabarnyi's offer to Liverpool occurred during meetings held to discuss the contractual future of Curtis Jones, a midfielder wanted by Inter Milan. The representatives of the Ukrainian player took advantage of that institutional approach to put his name on Anfield's board.

In recent days, new contacts have taken place between the reds and the 23-year-old player's agents. The defender completed last season playing 26 out of 28 league matches with PSG, but lost his starting position in the Champions League under Luis Enrique, appearing in only 7 games in the European tournament and playing a few minutes as a substitute in the final.

Andoni Iraola's defensive needs and PSG's demands

Andoni Iraola has requested a center-back profile despite signing Jeremy Jacquet for 60 million pounds this same summer, due to the physical problems of Conor Bradley and Giovanni Leoni. Liverpool sees the defender as a proven option in the Premier League following his previous spell at Bournemouth.

On the other hand, the PSG's board will not allow the defender to leave for less than the 57 million pounds invested in his signing. The French board demands to recoup the initial outlay to authorize the Ukrainian's transfer before the end of the transfer window.

The parties have scheduled a new round of negotiations for the first week of August 2026. Liverpool must submit a formal proposal to PSG that approaches the 57 million pounds required to conclude the agreement before the start of the Premier League.
