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.
The Italian outlet published an article on Wednesday, claiming ‘this is it’, as AS Roma are ‘very close’ to selling the forward to the Premier League side.
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.
