Bournemouth’s big money sale of Dominic Solanke to Tottenham Hotspur means that they’re mentioned in the market around Europe looking for a replacement.
It seems as if the riches on offer from Solanke’s sale are now putting them in an advantageous position in the race for another striker.
TuttoAtalanta report that the man in question is Atalanta’s El Bilal Toure.
The situation of the La Dea player is said to be ‘evolving’ and German side VfB Stuttgart have followed up their interest with an initial loan option.
Bournemouth are likely to have an advantage simply due to their finances, given Stuttgart have somewhat stretched their accounts already this summer.
As a result, Bournemouth ‘could decide’ to make a permanent offer for El Bilal Toure and that is a bid Atalanta would ‘prefer’ over what Stuttgart have offered.
The player seems increasingly distant from Atalanta and is not going to be part of their squad which takes on Real Madrid in the UEFA Super Cup later today.
