Bournemouth Reach Agreement With Milan for Alex Jimenez Loan With Option to Buy

Reports in Italy indicate the defender is due for a medical on Sunday.

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.
