AFC Bournemouth are in the headlines with fresh transfer rumours, the latest of which links them to Bologna's Giovanni Fabbian. Our analysis of the past seven days shows the club has been tied to 10 possible arrivals and 5 potential exits, with the hottest storyline right now revolving around Jamie Leweling. The items below represent the latest news on the most important of these transfer rumours.
Giovanni Fabbian
On Monday, it was reported that Bournemouth has placed Giovanni Fabbian, a 22-year-old Italian attacking midfielder for Bologna, on their special watch list. The player is also reportedly of interest to Lazio, Fiorentina, and Napoli. Fabbian, who has 17 caps and 4 goals for Italy's U21 team, is contracted with Bologna until June 2028 and has made 12 appearances and scored one goal in Serie A this season. Reports in January 2026 indicated Lazio presented an offer between €12-13 million, while Bologna's valuation was cited as being between €12 million and €15 million. Bologna signed Fabbian from Inter Milan in August 2023 for a reported fee of €5 million.
Alex Tóth
Lazio has been pursuing Ferencvaros' 20-year-old Hungarian midfielder Alex Tóth, but as of Monday, the Italian club had not yet reached an agreement. This has allowed AFC Bournemouth to develop an interest in the player, with former Roma manager Tiago Pinto now involved in the negotiations on Bournemouth's behalf. Tóth, who has 9 caps for his country, has a contract until June 2028. In the current domestic league season, he has recorded 1 goal and 2 assists in 14 appearances. Reports from January 2026 stated that Lazio had offered €10 million plus bonuses, while Ferencváros is demanding €15 million. His market value is estimated by Transfermarkt at €8 million.
Marcos Senesi
According to TuttoSport on Saturday, Manchester United's current search for a new interim manager has led to a stalemate and given Juventus the advantage in the pursuit of Marcos Senesi. A day earlier, Tuttosport reported that Juventus has initiated talks for the defender, who has already informed Bournemouth's management of his intention not to renew his contract which expires on June 30. The interest from Juventus is described as concrete, and a meeting between the parties was expected next week. On Wednesday, transfer journalist Matteo Moretto stated that Juventus has a concrete interest in Senesi and wants to hold new talks to get ahead of other interested parties, such as Atlético Madrid and FC Barcelona. Senesi is under contract at Bournemouth until mid-2026, but can leave on a free transfer next summer.
Jamie Leweling
AFC Bournemouth has shown interest in Jamie Leweling as a replacement for Antoine Semenyo, who has moved to Manchester City. However, according to an update on Sunday, Jamie Leweling stated he has no intention of leaving VfB Stuttgart in the near future and feels comfortable at the club. Reports indicate that another approach from the Premier League club in January appears unnecessary. This follows a report from last Tuesday that Bournemouth made a 40 million euro offer for Leweling, which Stuttgart rejected because they are seeking a higher amount. According to Transfer News Live, Bournemouth were prepared to pay around £35M for the player.
Enes Ünal
On Saturday, it was reported that Beşiktaş are considering Bournemouth's Turkish striker Enes Ünal based on a report from head coach Sergen Yalçın. Yalçın has approved the transfer of the 28-year-old, for whom a loan deal is being considered. It is understood that Enes Ünal is open to joining Beşiktaş as he wants more playing time.
Barış Alper Yılmaz
AFC Bournemouth submitted a 30 million euro offer for Barış Alper Yılmaz, according to a report on Thursday. Galatasaray rejected the proposal as they considered it too low and are anticipating a bid of over 40 million euros. The player has a contract until 2028, and West Ham United have also been mentioned in connection with him.
Tarik Muharemović
According to Gazzetta dello Sport on Thursday, Bournemouth are also thought to be interested in 22-year-old Slovenia international Tarik Muharemović, who will be available for €30 million. Earlier in the week, Sassuolo CEO Giovanni Carnevali stated that Sassuolo will not sell the player in January, even though the club has had contacts with several clubs. Carnevali noted that the most serious offers for the player have come from abroad, including from Bournemouth, and that Sassuolo would struggle to refuse if offers reach a certain amount.
