Jimenez is reportedly open to a move to the Premier League and would welcome the chance to join Bournemouth. Talks remain ongoing, but the two clubs have yet to reach an agreement on the final terms of the deal.
While Bournemouth prefer a loan agreement, Milan are pushing for a permanent transfer, potentially worth up to £20 million. The Italian club sees Jimenez as a valuable asset and may hesitate to let him leave without a long-term solution in place.
A product of Real Madrid’s academy, Jimenez joined AC Milan where he has made 34 appearances across all competitions. His ability to play in multiple positions adds to his appeal, especially for a Premier League club seeking tactical versatility.
For Bournemouth, the addition of a player like Jimenez could bolster both their defensive and attacking options on the flanks. Manager Andoni Iraola values high-energy, wide-playing defenders who can contribute at both ends of the pitch. Jimenez appears to fit that profile well.
The Cherries are hoping to finalize the structure of the deal in the coming days. With player approval already believed to be secured.
Bournemouth Eye Defensive Depth with Interest in Chelsea’s Axel Disasi
Bournemouth’s pursuit of Alex Jimenez is part of a broader effort to strengthen their defensive line ahead of the new season. In addition to the talks with AC Milan, the club is also exploring a potential deal for Chelsea centre-back Axel Disasi.
Disasi, who joined Chelsea last summer, is reportedly open to a move if first-team opportunities remain limited. Bournemouth are considering both a loan and a permanent option, though no formal offer has been submitted yet.
With the Premier League season approaching, the Cherries are aiming to solidify their backline with players who can adapt to multiple roles. Adding Disasi would provide significant aerial strength and experience at the heart of defence.

Bournemouth are keen to avoid the defensive vulnerabilities that troubled them in previous campaigns. They are targeting players who can immediately compete for starting roles and fit into Iraola’s high-pressing system.
While the club’s interest in Jimenez is focused on the flanks, the potential addition of Disasi would give them a strong core. Together, the two signings could transform Bournemouth’s defensive structure and provide the depth needed to compete across the season.
Discussions on both deals are expected to continue this week. Bournemouth aim to finalize key moves before the transfer window closes, ensuring they are fully equipped for the challenges ahead.
