Tottenham’s pursuit of Illia Zabarnyi may hit a dead end, with the Bournemouth defender reportedly preferring a move to PSG. According to Football Transfers, Spurs had a €70 million bid accepted by Bournemouth for the 22-year-old Ukrainian, but the player is keen on joining the reigning European champions instead.
Despite Tottenham’s efforts, including big-name signings like Mohammed Kudus from West Ham and Joao Palhinha on loan from Bayern, not every target has worked out. Morgan Gibbs-White was one that slipped through, and Zabarnyi now seems likely to follow suit. The young centre-back has impressed in the Premier League, attracting interest from top European clubs. While Spurs pushed hard to secure his signature, PSG have long admired Zabarnyi and are now favourites—if they can agree terms with Bournemouth. Tottenham may need to shift focus as this transfer battle tilts toward Paris.
