Earlier on Wednesday, we covered a story from the Italian media claiming that AFC Bournemouth could get a deal done for Justin Kluivert and Matías Viña for around €17.5m.
That’ because the Dutchman was worth €10m, while the Uruguay international could be bought for half the option to buy that was inserted in the original loan with the Cherries (€15m).
Well, if TuttoMercatoWeb are to be believed on Wednesday afternoon, Bournemouth are getting ever closer to securing the winger’s transfer.
Bournemouth did this by ‘breaking the deadlock’ with an offer of €12m with bonuses included, and there is a four-year contract ‘already ready’ for him at the Vitality Stadium, which will be reportedly signed ‘in the coming hours’.
A big move for Andoni Iraola, who is about to get his first signing of the season, even if he might not have had a lot of say in it.
