Bournemouth agree €17m deal for Ligue 1 star Adrien Truffert

Bournemouth are set to make their first signing of the summer transfer window.

According to Le Parisien, the Cherries have reached an agreement with Stade Rennais over the transfer of Adrien Truffert.

The French outfit turned down two bids from Bournemouth before accepting a fee worth up to €17 million for the talented left-back.

Truffert is an academy product of Rennes, who progressed through the youth ranks before earning his senior debut in September 2020.

He has been a regular for the Ligue 1 club, scoring nine goals in 191 appearances across all competitions.

The 23-year-old missed just one league game through suspension last season, as Rennes secured a 12th-placed finish in the French top-flight.

He produced excellent numbers in Ligue 1 last campaign, averaging 1.6 clearances, 1.8 tackles and 4.2 ball recoveries per game.

Given the fee and the France international’s potential, Bournemouth look to have made a brilliant acquisition.

They are set to lose Milos Kerkez to Liverpool, but have brought in a perfect replacement in Truffert.

Bournemouth have made significant progress since Andoni Iraola took over as manager in 2023.

Given his impressive work at the Vitality Stadium, Iraola deserves backing in the transfer market.
