The Franco-Guinean centre-back arrives from Lille for a fee of €35 million, plus an additional €5 million in bonuses. This transfer becomes the second most expensive deal in Bournemouth’s history, just behind that of Evanilson.

At 24 years old, Bafodé Diakaté will bring strength and experience to a defense in the midst of rebuilding. The club is counting on him to stabilize the back line and help Bournemouth aim for a more composed season. Medical scheduled. Official announcement imminent.
