Lille is opening the door for another key player to leave. This time, it's central defender Bafodé Diakité who is edging closer to an exit. Bournemouth, who were recently turned down after tabling an offer of around 30 million euros, have returned with renewed interest in the Guinean international.

According to Sky Sports, the Cherries are in advanced talks with LOSC to secure the services of the former Toulouse man.

🚨🍒 Bournemouth are expected to clarify the details of the sale of Ilya Zabarnyi to PSG and the incoming of Bafodé Diakité from LOSC Lille over the weekend. Both deals are at advanced stage with add-ons structures being sorted. One in, one out for #AFCB. #PSG #LOSCLive
