The latest transfer rumours surrounding AFC Bournemouth include a potential move for a West Ham striker. Our analysis of the past seven days shows the club has been linked with eight possible arrivals and five potential exits. The hottest storyline currently revolves around Loïs Openda, but the latest news on the most important transfer rumours, including a new link to Pablo, is detailed below.
Pablo
On Saturday, it was reported that AFC Bournemouth could attempt to sign West Ham United's 22-year-old Brazilian-Portuguese striker Pablo if they lose Eli Junior Kroupi this summer. According to SportsBoom, Brentford are also considering the forward, who joined West Ham in January. His contract runs until 2030 and he has a current market value of €18.00m.
Issa Doumbia
Bournemouth is reportedly interested in Issa Doumbia, but as of Saturday, Sporting CP appears to be the frontrunner. A meeting between Sporting and Venezia officials was scheduled for Monday in Milan. Venezia is asking for €25 million, while Sporting CP was preparing an offer between €18 and €20 million. The player has fully agreed to join the Portuguese club, and the media outlet A Bola mentioned that other English clubs are also monitoring the midfielder.
Marcos Senesi
On Friday, Fabrizio Romano stated on his YouTube channel that Liverpool have begun competing to sign Marcos Senesi and were expected to make new contacts for him, adding that the defender is very likely to remain in the Premier League. That same day, César Luis Merlo reported that Senesi announced his departure from Bournemouth through the club's official channels. However, Ben Jacobs also reported on Friday that Liverpool has yet to decide whether to pursue the player, a decision that could be contingent on Ibrahima Konate's future.
Darío Osorio
On Friday, reports indicated that Bournemouth are pursuing Dario Osorio and have approached Midtjylland to inquire about a sale. The Danish club has previously rejected offers exceeding €20 million and may seek a Danish record fee of €25m. This followed a report from Ben Jacobs on Thursday that Midtjylland is willing to sell the winger for an asking price over €20m.
E. Kroupi
Bournemouth chief Tiago Pinto insisted on Thursday that Eli Junior Kroupi will not be sold this summer. Speaking to 365scores, Pinto stated that the player, a target for Paris Saint-Germain, will not be leaving the club and that Bournemouth would not sell him even for offers of €100m. He added that the player's contract is for more than four years and contains no release clause.
John Stones
On Thursday, it was reported that Bournemouth has been credited with interest in John Stones. The 31-year-old England international is out of contract at Man City this summer and is set to become a free agent. According to SportsBoom, Newcastle and Coventry are also interested in the centre-back.
Loïs Openda
Bournemouth has been suggested as a potential destination for Loïs Openda, according to reports on Thursday. The move is seen as possible particularly as former RB Leipzig boss Marco Rose is expected to take charge at the club next season. It was also reported that a move to England remains the player's priority.
