Romano: full-back eyed by Sporting heading to Bournemouth for £11m | OneFootball

Juanlu Sánchez, a former Sporting target to strengthen the right side of the defense, is preparing to swap Sevilla for Bournemouth this summer. The 22-year-old Spanish full-back is set for the first spell of his career outside his home country.

According to information revealed by Fabrizio Romano, the Premier League club will pay a fixed fee of €11 million for the player. The deal could rise to €13 million depending on bonuses and objectives agreed between the two clubs.

Sporting had Juanlu on their radar for the right flank, but ultimately moved on to other options and backed Iván Fresneda’s development instead. The young Spaniard remained at Sevilla and established himself in the first team before attracting interest from the English side.

Last season, Juanlu Sánchez made 35 official appearances and provided three assists. The defender became a regular presence for the Andalusian side over the last three seasons, a period in which he cemented his status in the squad.

Bournemouth therefore remain very active in the transfer market. After officially signing António Silva, the Cherries have now secured another young defender from the Iberian Peninsula to strengthen the squad for 2026/27.
