The Ukraine centre-back is in Paris having agreed personal terms on a five-year contract with the European champions.
The clubs are however still negotiating the final details of the 22-year-old's transfer, which is expected to be worth an initial £54.5m plus £2.6m in performance-related add-ons.
Zabarnyi's exit would be the third major sale of a defender by Bournemouth this transfer window after Dean Hujsen joined Real Madrid for £50m and Liverpool signed Milos Kerkez in a deal worth £40m.
