Bournemouth is taking decisive steps to secure the signing of right-back Juanlu from Sevilla in a deal totaling €11.1 million. The 22-year-old player, known for his offensive playing style and height, will be a valuable addition to the squad of new manager Marco Rose, who is finalizing his team composition.
The deal includes an initial payment of €9.4 million, with the possibility of an additional €1.7 million in bonuses. Juanlu, who has already accumulated extensive experience with Spain's youth national teams, is expected to sign a long-term contract with the Cherries, who have already strengthened their squad this summer with the signing of Antonio Silva from Benfica for €26.6 million, and forward Álvaro Rodríguez, who transferred from Elche for €25.7 million.
Manager Marco Rose is now looking for a backup goalkeeper who can compete with Djordje Petrovic as the team prepares for an intense pre-season. The upcoming season will be historic for Bournemouth, as they will participate in the Europa League for the first time, increasing the pressure to adequately strengthen the squad.
Additionally, Sevilla has shown interest in forward Enes Unal, who Bournemouth is willing to sell. However, the Turkish international is considering other options in Turkey and Saudi Arabia, which could complicate his departure. On the other hand, sources from Vitality Stadium have confirmed that young talents Eli Junior Kroupi, Rayan, and Alex Scott are not available for sale, reinforcing the club's intention to retain its best players for the new season.
With the arrival of Juanlu, Bournemouth is taking another significant step in its ambition to establish itself in European football, and fans are eagerly awaiting the next moves in the transfer market.
