Bournemouth are on the brink of securing Moroccan international Amine Adli from Bayer Leverkusen, sources suggest, as the Premier League side looks to bolster their attacking options.
Adli, who has attracted interest from across Europe, reportedly reached a personal agreement with Bournemouth weeks ago. The final hurdle has been terms between the clubs, with Leverkusen keen to ensure they have a suitable replacement lined up.
According to Foot Mercato, the overall deal is valued at €30 million, including potential bonuses. However, Bournemouth will initially pay only €21 million, with up to €9 million in add-ons. For Leverkusen, this represents a modest immediate windfall, as the German club has targeted AS Monaco’s Eliesse Ben Seghir as a potential replacement.
Bayer Leverkusen have identified AS Monaco midfielder Eliesse Ben Seghir as a potential replacement for Amine Adli, who is close to joining Bournemouth in a deal worth around €30m.
The 20-year-old Morocco international is under contract with Monaco until 2027 but has struggled for regular minutes under coach Adi Hütter. Reports in France suggest Leverkusen tabled an opening bid of €25m, which was swiftly rejected, with Monaco valuing the player at between €35m and €40m.
Ben Seghir registered six goals and three assists in 33 league appearances last season. His limited playing time and a strained relationship with Hütter have raised questions over his future, and he is thought to be open to a move to aid his development.
Borussia Dortmund are also monitoring the situation but have yet to make a concrete approach.
