Bournemouth Poised to Make Alex Jimenez Deal Permanent If He Starts vs Aston Villa

A starts-based clause would activate a reported €19m-plus transfer that ends Real Madrid’s buy-back leverage.

Overview

  • Reports say the obligation to buy triggers once Jimenez has started, or played 45+ minutes in, at least half of the Premier League games for which he is available.
  • The expected activation could come this weekend at Dean Court, with local and national outlets describing him as one appearance away from the threshold.
  • Fees are reported at roughly €19–19.5m plus up to €5–5.5m in add-ons, with Real Madrid due a 50% sell-on that results in the proceeds being shared with AC Milan.
  • Milan already received about €2m for the initial loan, and the permanent contract is reported to run through June 2031.
  • The 20-year-old has integrated as a regular, starting 16 of 21 league matches and the past 11 in a row, with one goal and one assist.
