“There’s a suggestion PSG will be open to a sale, but there’s… I mean, how many ifs are there? It’s just one I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a move there for him later in the window if PSG really want to shove him out the door, but we’re not at that point yet.“It’s just a name that I think is worth throwing out there.

He’s someone that is clearly liked by the recruitment staff at Liverpool, clearly liked by the manager, has Premier League experience, good age, might be available, but that’s up to PSG.“Honestly, I can’t think of a single link that I think has got genuine 100% legs at the moment. That’s why I kind of think with Zabarnyi, there’s just a lot of boxes ticked by him; so I’m like, I just think he’s worth keeping an eye on.

Also, as Lynch mentioned, it was Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes who oversaw his move to Bournemouth in 2023 and Iraola who coached him for the bulk of his two-and-a-half years with the Cherries.When looking at his underlying performance figures from last term (via Fotmob), Zabarnyi stood out for his distribution of the ball, but he ranked poorly compared to other Ligue 1 centre-backs for core defensive metrics such as tackling and interceptions.
