Signed on loan from Inter Milan, where his ambitions were to fight for the starting spot, AFC Bournemouth’s Ionuț Radu has failed to do that.
He does have five appearances for the Cherries, three of which have come in the EFL Cup, and when he was called upon in the Premier League, he conceded seven goals in those two chances.
He has not been in Andoni Iraola’s squad since the 6-1 loss to Manchester City, suggesting his chances of featuring again in the league are now over, but L’Equipe explain that a club could come save him in the shape of OGC Nice.
The newspaper reveal that following their decision to release Salvatore Sirigu, the Ligue 1 side may need a backup for Marcin Bulka between the sticks.
They are ‘following’ Andrei Radu, who is living something of a nightmare at Bournemouth these days, but that will likely depend on the feasibility of the deal.
We say this because the French newspaper do add that the ‘most probable’ solution would be for them to continue with 22-year-old Teddy Boulhendi as backup.
Therefore, there needs to be an opening from Bournemouth and Inter to Save Private Radu.
