Bournemouth agree deal with Bayer Leverkusen for Amine Adli | OneFootball

Bayer Leverkusen have agreed a transfer fee of €30 million with Premier League side, AFC Bournemouth for Amine Adli, according to Sky Sports and other sources.

The Moroccan international has been with Bayer Leverkusen since 2021/2022, since moving from Toulouse for only €7m , but must now wait until his current club find a replacement.

According to multiple reports from French and German media, the 25-year-old has already agreed to sign a five-year contract with Bournemouth.

The reported €30m fee includes add-ons for the midfielder.

With negotiations still being finalised, Adli played 45 minutes this weekend in Bayer Leverkusen’s DFB Pokal win and registered an assist on Patrik Schick’s opening goal in the 0-4 away victory.

Afterwards, the 24-year-old bid a tearful goodbye to the B04 fan block after receiving special recognition from the fans.

Adli scored his first goal for the club in September 2021 during added time of a Europa League group stage match against Celtic.

He has gone on to make nearly 100 appearances for Leverkusen, amassing 14 goals as his side won the Bundesliga, DFB Pokal, and Supercup in 2023/2024.

Adli also has 15 international caps with Morocco and will hope his time at Bournemouth will help launch his national side into the 2026 World Cup.

Evidently, it is time for a new chapter and to write his name into Bournemouth’s history.

But Adli’s contribution at Bayer Leverkusen won’t be quickly forgotten.
