Bournemouth to rival Stuttgart in the race to sign Atalanta striker El Bilal Touré | OneFootball

According to L’Équipe, Bournemouth are set to rival Vfb Stuttgart in the race to sign Atalanta striker El Bilal Touré (22). The Malian international is attracting interest ahead of a potential move away from Italy during the summer transfer window.

Stuttgart are in advanced negotiations with Atalanta over a potential move for the 22-year-old but a deal between the two clubs has not yet been finalised. The Premier League club are hoping to take advantage of this situation and hijack the Bundesliga club’s move for Touré.

Bournemouth have opened talks with the Serie A club to try and steal a march on Stuttgart but a deal could be too advanced. Touré had envisaged moving to the Bundesliga but with the Cherries now working hard to sign the former Reims striker, he could be playing in the Premier League next season.
