OPEN CONVERSATIONS FOR LILLE'S BAFODÉ DIAKITÉ IN BOURNEMOUTH

 

According to a report from L'Équipe, Bournemouth has begun talks with Lille about acquiring Bafodé Diakité (24), a French defender who has emerged as a major target for the Premier League team this summer.

Bournemouth is getting ready to make significant adjustments to their centre defensive. Ilya Zabarni is also getting closer to joining Paris Saint-Germain after Dean Huijsen was sold to Real Madrid for €62 million earlier this month. Diakité, whose impressive Champions League performances with Lille, especially against Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, and Borussia Dortmund, have not gone ignored, is the goal of the Cherries as they look to bolster their backline.

During LOSC 2024–2025, the former France U21 player and Alexsandro developed a strong working relationship.

Les Dogues is under contract until 2027 and is expected to fetch a high price for a player in his prime.
