Bournemouth keen to sign 21-year-old – Club won’t ‘make departure easy’ amid Cherries efforts

AFC Bournemouth have set their sights on Real Valladolid’s Raúl Moro.

The winger initially joined the Spanish club on a loan deal from Lazio in July 2023 and his stay was made permanent earlier this year. He managed two goals and an assist from 11 league games this season.

Estadio Deportivo claim the 21-year-old has become an ‘object of desire’ for the Premier League sides, and Bournemouth are one of those to have shown interest.

It’s claimed the Cherries ‘come for Raúl Moro’ and it’s possible their Spanish manager, Andoni Iraola, is leading the chase for the attacker.

Recent claims in the English press have talked about Bournemouth being willing to offer around €6-8m for the Spain U21 international in January. Estadio relay that and then provide Real Valladolid’s take on a potential transfer.

The La Liga side have an ‘upper hand’ because Moro’s deal lasts until 2028. This will put them in a comfortable position when negotiating his sale, especially in the winter market.

In other words, Real Valladolid will ‘not make his departure easy’ in January amid claims of Bournemouth willing to make an offer.
