Overview
- Bournemouth will take Jimenez on a 12‑month loan for just under €2 million, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport as relayed by Football Italia.
- The deal includes an option to buy that can become mandatory under certain conditions, with the total fee reported as just over €20 million if triggered.
- Milan had rejected an earlier proposal structured below €20 million and pushed for a higher, more guaranteed arrangement near €25 million including bonuses.
- Jimenez was left out of recent Milan matchday squads for disciplinary reasons, a development cited as accelerating his exit.
- The young full-back, formerly in Real Madrid’s system, has drawn reported interest from Roma and Como, and Madrid are said to retain a €12 million purchase option for next summer.
