Bournemouth’s PSG Talks Stall as Club Eyes Lille’s Bafodé Diakité

Holding out for extra add-ons in Zabarnyi’s near-€70 million move, the club has ramped up negotiations for Lille’s centre-back Diakité.

Overview

  • Negotiations with PSG have reached a deadlock as Bournemouth insists on an additional €3 million on top of a €60 million plus €3 million add-ons offer for Illia Zabarnyi.
  • Zabarnyi is expected to join Paris Saint-Germain for almost €70 million once both clubs agree on the final valuation.
  • In response to potential departures, Bournemouth are in advanced talks to sign 24-year-old Bafodé Diakité from Lille to reinforce their defence.
  • Dean Huijsen and Milos Kerkez have already left this summer, generating over £150 million in revenues that support the club’s rebuild.
  • Other Premier League sides remain prepared to pursue Zabarnyi should talks with PSG collapse, keeping pressure on Bournemouth’s negotiations.
