The 22-year-old will cost an initial £9.4m, with a further £1.7m in add-ons, and is expected to move to the south coast on a long-term contract.
Market Impact
Juanlu is a tall, attacking full-back with significant experience despite his young age and has been heavily capped at Spanish youth level. It would be the Cherries' third signing of the summer after the arrivals of Antonio Silva from Benfica for £25.7m and striker Alvaro Rodriguez from Elche – also for £25.7m – earlier in the transfer window. Rose is now looking only for a number two goalkeeper capable of challenging Djordje Petrovic as Bournemouth continue pre-season before a historic campaign in which they will compete in the Europa League for the first time. Sevilla have shown an interest in striker Enes Unal, whom Bournemouth are keen to sell.
The market angle matters because clubs rarely move in isolation. Contract timing, squad balance, wage structure, and competition for the same player can all change the pace of a transfer story.
