Our analysis of the past seven days shows the club has been tied to 10 possible arrivals and 5 potential exits. The items below represent the latest news on the most important transfer rumours, with the hottest storyline right now concerning Eddy Kouadio.
Stefan Dzodic
On Tuesday, it emerged that Bournemouth, Sunderland, Brentford, and Brighton are among several Premier League clubs to have scouted Almería midfielder Stefan Dzodic. It is understood these clubs have monitored the 21-year-old Serbian international since his 2025 free transfer from Montpellier. The interest is not considered advanced, and they face competition from Atletico Madrid, which has already opened discussions with the player's representatives. Dzodic's contract is valid until 2032 and includes a €40 million release clause, which Almería would require to be met for a January sale.
Javi Rodríguez
TEAMtalk reported on Tuesday that Celta Vigo center back Javi Rodríguez, 23, has many admirers in the Premier League, and PSG are also interested. A day earlier, it was noted that Bournemouth, Newcastle United, Everton, and Fulham were among the Premier League clubs showing significant interest. According to sources, his release clause is €40 million, and it is believed any club wanting to sign him in January will be required to meet this figure or make an offer very close to it.
Federico Gatti
Last Thursday, La Gazzetta dello Sport reported that Bournemouth had shown interest in Federico Gatti during the summer. The report added that a departure from Juventus during the winter transfer window is a possibility for the defender if his situation does not improve.
Alex Scott
On Monday, transfer journalist Pete O’Rourke stated in Football Insider that Chelsea are focused on signing Alex Scott from Bournemouth and that he is a primary target for the January window. In a separate update, TEAMtalk’s transfer correspondent, Fraser Fletcher, reported that Chelsea are willing to pay over £100 million to Bournemouth for the midfielder.
Eduardo Pape
Several European clubs are interested in Cruzeiro midfielder Eduardo Pape, according to reports from Friday. Bournemouth, Manchester City, and Chelsea watched the 17-year-old after his performances at the South American under-17 championship. His contract includes a €100 million international release clause, but sources indicate Cruzeiro is seeking a sale price of approximately €40 million. No formal offers have yet been made.
Andrés Gómez
Bournemouth have a serious interest in signing Vasco da Gama winger Andres Gomez in the January transfer window and have already held initial discussions, as of Friday. The Cherries view Gomez as a versatile, direct winger, and sources suggest the club believes his previous experience in Ligue 1 would aid his adaptation.
Kenneth Taylor
On Tuesday, Tuttomercato reported that Bournemouth has made enquiries about Lazio midfielder Kenneth Taylor. Currently, these are only initial approaches, but it is possible that the situation could change with concrete attempts in the summer. The report states that Lazio has no intention of selling Taylor, especially in January.
