European Champions Paris St. Germain have opened conversations with Bournemouth for their center-back Ilya Zabarnyi.
PSG still has to make another offer, but the cherries are reluctant to sell after they have lost Dean Huijsen to Real Madrid while Liverpool closes their left Milos Kerkez.
The winners of the Champions League begin to consider the long -term replacements for captain Marquinhos, which turned 31 last month.
The Ukrainian defender Zabarnyi has caught the eye since he joined the cherries of Dynamo Kyiv in January 2023.
The 22-year-old started last season, except for three League matches from Bournemouth and he was suspended for two of them.
Only five teams in the top flight gave fewer goals than the side of Andoni Iraola, which finished ninth in the rankings.
Bournemouth has discussed Rennes -defender Adrien Truffert as a possible replacement for Kerkez.
Kerkez could be the second signing of Liverpool of the summer after Bayer Leverkusen Judge Wing-back Jeremie Frimpong.
Bournemouth reportedly made a price tag of £ 45 million on Kerkez, one of their most appreciated assets.
The club will be reluctant to lose a man who has been one of their best artists in the last two seasons and he has left his contract for three years.
Real Madrid completed the signature of £ 50 million from Bournemouth -defender Dean Huijsen after activating his release clause in May.
