Alex Jimenez seems more and more likely to leave AC Milan this summer, and he could be heading to the Premier League.
In the past few days, Milan have opened themselves up to a deal for Jimenez with Como and then Roma pursuing a deal quite heavily. However, the Spaniard could now be heading elsewhere.
Daniele Longo reported that the Rossoneri had decided that he would leave the club on Thursday afternoon, with Como leading the race. Though the Cherries also became involved at a similar time, looking to explore the possibility of a deal.
Jimenez to depart?
In the evening, though, our colleague from SempreMilan.it, Luca Maninetti, has reported that Bournemouth are now the leading option. Roma and Como are still in the race, it seems, but the English club are now the favourites.
The Serie A clubs had both favoured a loan-to-buy situation, but if Andoni Iraola’s side are able to buy him this summer, it could offer other avenues elsewhere for different players.
Real Madrid also have a buy-back clause next summer worth only €12 million, so it will be intriguing to see what and if any impact there is from Los Blancos this summer, especially with them previously considering a move.
