On 2 June 2026, reporter DaveOCKOP broke the story that Liverpool have been offered the opportunity to sign Paris Saint-Germain defender Ilya Zabarnyi while in talks with his representatives. Liverpool have officially confirmed that Ibrahima Konate will leave Anfield at the end of June, bringing to a close his five-year spell with the club.

Why Transfer News Links Zabarnyi To Liverpool Specifically? Zabarnyi is not a stranger to the incoming Liverpool management.

Liverpool need a centre-back, Zabarnyi wants out, and Iraola knows the player inside out. By the end of the summer, the most probable outcome is that Zabarnyi moves back to England with Liverpool as a genuine front-runner, provided this transfer news produces concrete follow-up action rather than fading into another summer footnote.
