Despite bringing Neto in over the summer and making him captain, AFC Bournemouth have an eye on another goalkeeper for the future.

Their backups are currently 23-year-old Mark Travers and 35-year-old Darren Randolph, but it seems the Cherries have once again turned their attention to Italy for transfer purposes.

Bournemouth signed Matias ViƱa and Hamed TraorƩ from Serie A over the course of the January transfer window and also tried to bring in Nicolo Zaniolo, clearly marking Italy as a prime area to bolster their squad.

Well, the next on their list appears to be Hellas Verona goalkeeper Lorenzo MontipĆ², who is currently having a great time.

The 27-year-old, according to Calciomercato, has kept three clean sheets and conceded just four goals in the last seven league games, and helped his team climb up the table.

However, that hasnā€™t gone unnoticed, because while his present might be in Verona, his future could be elsewhere, with both Galatasaray and more recently Bournemouth lurking around.

Itā€™s said the Cherries have ā€˜sent their emissaries (read scouts) in recent weeksā€™ to ā€˜specificallyā€™ watch MontipĆ² in goal, suggesting they have transfer ideas for him down the line.
