Jean-Philippe Mateta (Crystal Palace)
According to The Boot Room, Bournemouth are just one of a number of clubs in the Premier League that are tracking Crystal Palace's in-form striker Jean-Philippe Mateta ahead of a potential move in the summer. Aston Villa, Chelsea, Manchester United, Newcastle, Nottingham Forest and West Ham are also all thought to be interested in the Frenchman's signature.
Marco Verratti (Al Arabi)
The Boot Room have also reported that Bournemouth are considering making an offer for Italian central midfield player Marco Verratti in the summer. He is thought to be open to leaving Qatari side Al Arabi and returning to Europe, with fellow Premier League rivals Fulham and West Ham also thought to be interested in his signature.
Igor Paixao (Feyenoord)
According to The Sun, Bournemouth, as well as fellow Premier League rivals Tottenham and Newcastle, are keen on signing Feyenoord winger Igor Paixao in the summer. The Brazilian is rated at £25m by the Dutch club, and the Cherries have already sent scouts to watch him in action.
Kepa Arrizabalaga (Bournemouth on loan from Chelsea)
According to Spanish news outlet Fichajes, Chelsea are looking to sell Spanish goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga in the summer transfer window. Various reports have linked him with a permanent move to Bournemouth following his loan spell at the Vitality Stadium in the 2024/25 campaign.
Viktor Johansson (Stoke)
According to Sportbladet, Bournemouth, as well as Serie A side Como, want to sign Stoke goalkeeper Viktor Johansson in the summer transfer window. His contract at the Championship club runs out in 2027, and ideally they would like to keep him beyond this season.
Both clubs have informed Stoke of their interest, and Como already had a bid rejected for Johansson in January. Bournemouth see him as a potential alternative to Kepa, should the Cherries be unable to sign the Spaniard on a permanent deal after his loan spell ends.
Caoimhin Kelleher (Liverpool)
According to talkSPORT, Bournemouth are leading the race to sign Liverpool and Republic of Ireland international goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher in the summer transfer window.
Maxim de Cuyper (Club Brugge)
According to Football Insider, Bournemouth are ready to swoop for Club Brugge left-back Maxim de Cuyper as a potential replacement for exit-linked Milos Kerkez in the summer transfer window.
Nicolo Savona (Juventus)
According to The Boot Room, Bournemouth are interested in signing Dean Huijsen's former teammate at Juventus Nicolo Savona in the summer transfer window. The Cherries have made contact over the defender, who has been likened to Arsenal and Italy international star Riccardo Calafiori, but fellow Premier League rivals Everton, Fulham and West Ham have also been making checks on Savona.
Yann Bisseck (Inter Milan)
According to TEAMtalk, Bournemouth, as well as fellow Premier League rivals Tottenham, West Ham and Everton, are keeping an eye on Inter Milan central defender Yann Bisseck ahead of a potential move in the summer transfer window. The current Serie A title holders value him at around £30-34m, as the Cherries look for a potential replacement for exit-linked Huijsen.
Whisper+ hot rumour: Georgiy Sudakov (Shakhtar Donetsk)
According to AreaNapoli.it, Bournemouth, as well as Napoli, have been keeping tabs on Shakhtar Donetsk and Ukraine international attacker Georgiy Sudakov for a number of months. There is a belief that around £38.3m-42.6m would be enough for Sudakov to leave in the summer transfer window, although the Cherries may have to sell either Kerkez or Huijsen first in order to help fund a possible move.
