Talks have accelerated in the last 48 hours and an agreement is now close. The full-back, who joined the Cherries in 2023, has seen his first team opportunities limited under Andoni Iraola this season making just three appearances so far - including just one start.

And the Premier League club are prepared to let the right-back leave the club during the January window. Clubs across France, Italy and Spain had expressed an initial interest in the 25-year-old. Ligue 1 club Lille were also among the teams interested.
Max Aarons will be allowed to leave Bournemouth this window after playing opportunities dried up. The 25-year-old made his name with Norwich after emerging as a promising right back. Carlos Corberan's Valencia side are in talks with the player over a loan that could become permanent for £7.5m.
Aarons arrived from Norwich in 2023 with the reputation as one of the best emerging full-backs in English football. But his career has stalled on the south coast this season and a move away in order to secure more regular first team football could benefit all parties.
