Bournemouth are finalising an £11.1m move for Sevilla right-back Juanlu as new manager Marco Rose’s squad nears completion. The 22-year-old is expected to move to the south coast on a long-term contract.
Bournemouth's £11.1m Signing Nears Completion
The Cherries are set to sign Juanlu for an initial £9.4m, with a further £1.7m in add-ons. This will be the club's third signing of the summer, following the arrivals of Antonio Silva from Benfica for £25.7m and striker Alvaro Rodriguez from Elche – also for £25.7m – earlier in the transfer window.
Juanlu is a tall, attacking full-back with significant experience despite his young age. He has been heavily capped at Spanish youth level and is expected to bring a new dimension to Bournemouth's squad.
Sevilla's Interest in Enes Unal
Sevilla have shown an interest in striker Enes Unal, whom Bournemouth are keen to sell. However, the Turkey international also has options in Turkey and Saudi Arabia as he looks to secure a move this summer. Bournemouth are keen to offload Unal, but the player's future remains uncertain.
Rose's Pre-Season Plans
Rose is now looking only for a number-two goalkeeper capable of challenging Djordje Petrovic as Bournemouth continue their pre-season. The historic campaign ahead will see the club compete in the Europa League for the first time, and Rose is determined to assemble a squad capable of making a mark in European competition.
Unavailability of Star Trio
Star trio Eli Junior Kroupi, Rayan, and Alex Scott remain unavailable for sale, according to senior sources at the Vitality Stadium. This means that Bournemouth will not be able to sell any of these players this summer, which may impact their transfer plans.
Bournemouth's squad is nearing completion, with the signing of Juanlu expected to be finalised in the coming days. The club's pre-season plans are now focused on finding a number-two goalkeeper to challenge Djordje Petrovic. With a historic campaign ahead, Bournemouth are determined to assemble a squad capable of making a mark in European competition.
