Last summer saw Fulham try to buy Justin Kluivert from AS Roma, but ultimately failed due to work permit reasons.
This time, it’s AFC Bournemouth’s turn to give it a go, but Gazzetta dello Sport make it clear that ‘there should be no hitches on the work permit’ this time around.
In fact, the Cherries ‘will have to present an offer of at least €10m’ to convince Roma to sell the Dutchman, who spent last season on loan at Valencia.
Bournemouth are clearly keen to bolster their squad after avoiding relegation to the Championship, and see the forward as a good addition to the team.
Corriere dello Sport also have something on the situation, and explain the Premier League side are ‘ready to buy him outright’ after Valencia let his option to buy expire.
That stood at around €15m, and it’s believed the Italians value him at ‘more or less the same figures’ this summer to get a transfer done.
The 24-year-old was something of a rotation option at Valencia last season, scoring six goals and providing one assist in 26 league appearances.
