Serie A has listed Alex Jimenez’s loan move from Bournemouth to Fiorentina, confirming the deal despite no official statements from either club. The agreement includes a €20 million option to buy and a 30 percent future-sale clause for Bournemouth. Jimenez remains suspended pending an FA investigation but had been a regular starter before his ban, making 32 appearances last season. He returns to Serie A after previously featuring for AC Milan, from whom Bournemouth permanently signed him in February.

New Zealand goalkeeper Alex Paulsen has moved to Motherwell on loan from AFC Bournemouth after not yet making a first-team appearance for the English club. Bournemouth aim for the loan to aid his physical development before he returns to compete for a place. Paulsen’s previous loans include Auckland FC and Lechia Gdansk, while Bournemouth have extended Fraser Forster’s contract and are exploring another loan for Christos Mandas.

Alex Jimenez has completed a medical with Fiorentina ahead of a season‑long loan from AFC Bournemouth, with the deal including a €20 million option to buy and a 30% sell‑on clause. The defender remains under FA investigation following last season’s suspension and did not appear in Bournemouth’s final matches. Bournemouth previously activated an obligation to buy him from AC Milan for €19 million plus add‑ons, and could make a €1 million profit if Fiorentina later complete a permanent transfer.
