On Wednesday, Paris Saint-Germain resumed the training path. Luis Enrique and his staff do not have much time to prepare the players who will play their first official match for the year 2025-26 Wednesday against Tottenham in European Super Cup. Opposed to the winners of the Europa League, the European champions intend to start this new season with a trophy. For this shock, the Parisian coach will be able to count on Lucas Chevalier, past from Lille to Paris for € 40 million, plus € 15 million in bonuses.

Luis Enrique had asked his management to accelerate negotiations with the DOGUES to count on French as quickly as possible. He was also unhappy not to have Illia Zabarnyi under his orders as soon as training resumes. However, the Ukrainian defender has been in the sights of the Parc des Princes' residents for months. Last winter, the Parisian leaders, seduced by his profile, had started the first discussions about him. But they had not concluded the case.

Parisians and Cherries finally agree

This summer, they advanced more seriously on this track. But they encountered the requirements of Bournemouth, who claims € 70 million for his player. A sum that other clubs, including Tottenham, were ready to pay cash. Except that Zabarnyi was clear since he refused all the proposals he was the subject, he who does not want to sign in Paris. A will and firmness that pleased Ile -de -France thinking heads, amazed by him. PSG therefore decided to accelerate on this issue after having finalized the Knight Operation.

Today, an agreement has been reached between Paris and Bournemouth according to information. We are talking about a transfer of € 63 million, more bonuses. All this can increase the note at € 67 million according to our colleague Fabrizio Romano. For his part, the Ukrainian agreed with the champions of France and Europe around a 5 -year contract, until 2030. All the lights are therefore green and PSG should count very quickly on the 22 -year -old rock. Good news for Luis Enrique, whose team is taking more and more form. But it is also a good thing for the Cherries that will be able to move forward on the signature of Bafodé Diakité. According to our information, the player already agrees with Les Cherries, which are close to the € 40 million wanted by LOSC. The English hope to complete this deal before the end of the week.
