Bournemouth will make their first offer for Sporting Club de Portugal striker Chermiti next week as they continue to improve Andoni Iraola’s squad this summer.
That’s according to Record, who say the ‘first offer’ from Cherries should arrive next week as they step up their efforts to get him.
Bournemouth have been linked with a move for the striker for several weeks, with it claimed earlier this week that they were preparing a bid.
Record now back that up and say that after the striker was spotted by scouts from Bournemouth, the first offer for him should arrive in Alvalade next week.
Sporting are aware of the interest in him and have agreed to a sale so long as they get €20m and a percentage of a future transfer.
Bournemouth are aware of those numbers but aren’t planning to meet them initially and are instead planning to present a lower offer first. The belief, though, is that an agreement will be reached by the end of this month.
They’re very keen on the 19-year-old after watching his growth at Sporting and are willing to make a ‘financial effort’ to get him as they believe he could prove to be profitable in the medium term.
They are also aware of interest from Wolves and the belief that could lead to an auction for the player, hence their new desire to get a deal done.
