Reliable journalist Fabrizio Romano reported via his official account on the 'X' platform that English club Bournemouth has made an offer to Italian club Milan to acquire Spanish defender Alex Jimenez on loan, with a clause allowing for a permanent buy at the end of the season.

Romano confirmed that discussions between the two clubs are still ongoing and are set to continue today with the aim of reaching a final agreement on the terms of the deal.

He clarified that Real Madrid, the player's former club, has a clause that allows them to re-sign Jimenez, which requires the Spanish club's approval for any future transfer steps.

Bournemouth's management is keen to finalize the deal as soon as possible, as the club aims to strengthen its squad with young and promising players before the end of the summer transfer window.
