According to a report from DaveOcKop, the defender’s representatives have offered the player to the Premier League club, and it remains to be seen whether Liverpool are prepared to get the deal done.
Zabarnyi was linked with Tottenham before he joined PSG.

Liverpool could use Illia Zabarnyi
The 23-year-old has done well since joining the French outfit, but he struggled for game time in the Champions League. Liverpool could use more depth in the defensive unit, and the former Bournemouth defender could be a useful acquisition. He knows the Premier League well, and he could settle in quickly and make an immediate impact.
Ibrahima Konate left Liverpool during the summer transfer window after his contract expired, and they need more options at their disposal.
Zabarnyi could be an interesting option for them, especially if they can sign him for a reasonable amount of money. The French outfit paid around £57 million to sign the player from the English club, and they will not want to lose him for cheap. Liverpool will have to pay a premium in order to get the deal done.
