Overview

• The club confirmed a season-long loan with an obligation to buy worth €19m if Alex Jimenez starts 50% of games.
• Italian reports said the loan fee is just under €2m with a total package slightly above €20m if made permanent, creating a small discrepancy with Bournemouth’s stated figure.
• Milan previously rejected an initial offer reported as under €20m as they pushed for a firmer obligation and a higher structured valuation near €25m including bonuses.
• Jimenez was left out of Massimiliano Allegri’s first two Serie A matchday squads for disciplinary reasons, a factor cited in coverage of his exit.
• The 20-year-old former Real Madrid academy full-back has 34 senior appearances for Milan and becomes Bournemouth’s sixth signing of the summer.
