Bournemouth Finalizes £11.1m Deal for Sevilla's Rising Star Juanlu
AI Summary
Bournemouth is finalizing an £11.1m move for Sevilla right-back Juanlu, as new manager Marco Rose seeks to complete his squad. The 22-year-old defender will cost an initial £9.4m, with an additional £1.7m in potential add-ons, and is expected to sign a long-term contract on the south coast.
Juanlu, known for his tall stature and attacking prowess, boasts significant experience despite his youth, having been heavily capped at various Spanish youth levels.
This signing marks the Cherries' third acquisition of the summer, following:
- Antonio Silva from Benfica for £25.7m
- Alvaro Rodriguez from Elche for £25.7m
With these additions, Rose is now only in search of a number two goalkeeper to challenge Djordje Petrovic as Bournemouth prepares for a historic season, competing in the Europa League for the first time.
Meanwhile, Sevilla has expressed interest in striker Enes Unal, whom Bournemouth is keen to sell. The Turkey international is also considering options in Turkey and Saudi Arabia as he seeks a move this summer.
Notably, senior sources at the Vitality Stadium have confirmed that star trio Eli Junior Kroupi, Rayan, and Alex Scott are not available for sale.
