Bournemouth have reached an agreement with Rennes to sign French left-back Adrien Truffert. The deal, as reported by Le Parisien, is in place, and the player is expected to undergo a medical examination next. According to Fabrizio Romano, the transfer is imminent, with the journalist stating “here we go!”
Truffert’s signing is likely to be linked to the potential exit of Bournemouth’s current left-back, Milos Kerkez. Liverpool have been reportedly closing in on Kerkez, with previous reports suggesting the Reds were in advanced talks to sign the player. Kerkez had hinted at a possible departure from Bournemouth in a social media post earlier in May. The player’s transfer to Liverpool has been speculated upon since March, with Manchester United also having shown interest in him last year. Kerkez’s style of play and position on the pitch are expected to be factors in the potential transfer.
