AFC Bournemouth are reportedly in the race to secure the signature of AS Roma’s left-back Angelino, with Iraola looking to bolster their defensive options ahead of the 2025/26 Premier League season. According to reports from Il Messaggero, Bournemouth have made contact with the player’s representatives, alongside Crystal Palace, as they explore the possibility of bringing the former Manchester City academy star back to England’s top flight.
Angelino, a 28-year-old Spaniard, has had a winding career since leaving Manchester City’s youth setup in 2019. After stints with clubs like PSV Eindhoven, RB Leipzig, and Hoffenheim, he joined AS Roma permanently in 2024 following a loan spell. However, Roma’s plans to offload players this summer to fund their transfer activity have put Angelino’s future at the club in doubt, opening the door for Premier League sides to make their move.
For Bournemouth, the interest in Angelino comes at a crucial time as manager Andoni Iraola looks to replace the outgoing Milos Kerkez. With a reported price tag of around €12m, the left-back represents a cost-effective option for a club aiming to cement their place in the Premier League’s mid-table.
The collapse of Angelino’s prospective move to Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal earlier this summer has further fueled speculation about his next destination. Bournemouth fans will be hopeful that their club can capitalize on this opportunity to secure a proven performer who has thrived in top European leagues. However, with Crystal Palace also in the mix, the Cherries may need to move decisively to avoid missing out.
