Bournemouth formalising Di Gregorio loan with £12.5m option

AFC Bournemouth are formalising a loan deal for Juventus goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio on Monday, according to Ben Jacobs. The move is being advanced at the start of the week as the Cherries look to add in goal.

The reported structure is a loan with an option to buy set at £12.5m plus £2.5m in add-ons, and a further £1m due to Juventus if the transfer is not made permanent. That framework would allow Bournemouth to bring the keeper in immediately while delaying a final decision on a full transfer.

There has been no official confirmation from either club. However, the detail on the terms suggests the key elements have been agreed and documentation is being put in place before a formal announcement. As framed, the development points to an agreement stage rather than preliminary talks.

An option, rather than an obligation, would give Bournemouth flexibility to assess the signing in the Premier League before committing to a long-term deal. For Juventus, the contingent payment if the option is not triggered provides guaranteed value from the arrangement.

The report does not specify personal terms, medical timings or the precise loan duration, which typically follow once the final paperwork is completed. With formalities described as under way on Monday, confirmation would be expected once the registration steps are concluded.
