Bournemouth has finalized the signing of right-back Juanlu from Sevilla in a deal worth £11.1 million. This acquisition sees head coach Marco Rose further shape his squad for the club's inaugural season in European competition.
The former Spain youth international has penned a five-year contract with the Cherries. The initial transfer fee stands at £9.4 million, with an additional £1.7 million in potential add-ons. Juanlu, 22, becomes the third new arrival at the Vitality Stadium this summer, following center-back Antonio Silva from Benfica and forward Álvaro Rodríguez from Elche.
With the arrival of Juanlu, who boasts 109 first-team appearances for Sevilla and secured an Olympic gold medal with Spain in Paris in 2024, Rose's squad is reportedly 95% complete ahead of their Europa League campaign. Bournemouth had been in the market for a new right-back after loaning Alex Jiménez to Fiorentina for the entire season. The 21-year-old Jiménez was suspended by the club in May following allegations related to his social media posts.
