The 22-year-old centre-back of the Ukrainian national team Ilya Zabarny may move to Real Madrid.

As Elgoldigital writes, the player has long been watched by the president of the Spanish club Florentino Perez, who gave Real the green light to start negotiations. There will be a harsh bargaining with Bournemouth, who have set a very decent price tag on their defender - 60 million euros.

It is noted that the transfer will not be quick and almost certainly we are not talking about the winter transfer window. Zabarny is seen as a promising acquisition, capable of both rejuvenating and strengthening Real's troubled defensive line.
