A recent report from TEAMtalk has revealed that Liverpool cannot sign Paris Saint-Germain defender Illia Zabarnyi this summer. The 23-year-old PSG player, who previously thrived under Andoni Iraola at Bournemouth, is already part of Liverpool's strong defensive lineup. This lineup consists of Ronald Araujo, Virgil van Dijk, Jérémy Jacquet, Giovanni Leoni, and Joe Gomez.
The report states that any potential move for Zabarnyi would require Liverpool to create space in their squad, as the defender is looking for regular first-team football instead of a peripheral role. With competition for places already intense, Liverpool has decided that signing Zabarnyi is not a priority at the moment. The opportunity to bring in Zabarnyi will likely not arise until 2027, when Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez leave their respective contracts.
Until then, Zabarnyi remains a long-term target for Liverpool, following his successful stint at Bournemouth and his transfer to PSG in 2023 for £57 million.
