Bournemouth sign defenders Milosavljevic & Jimenez

Veljko Milosavljevic, a teenager from Serbia, was signed for £13 million from Red Star Belgrade, and Milan AC has loaned full-back Alex Jimenez.

Milosavljevic, 18, has signed a five-year contract with the Cherries and represented his country at the under-21 level.

If Jimenez, a 20-year-old Spain youth international, makes 18 Premier League starts this season, his deal will become a permanent deal worth £16.5 million.

Milosavljevic became the third youngest debutant in Red Star Belgrade’s history to make 14 league appearances in the top flight of Serbia.

He said, “It was always my dream to play in the Premier League because it is the best league in the world.”

“I’m very happy to be a member of the Bournemouth family.” I’m eager to meet the club’s team-mates, staff, and supporters.

I’ve seen the advancements young players can make while working with manager Andoni Iraola, and I can’t wait to start working with him.

Illia Zabarnyi, Dean Huijsen, and Milos Kerkez were traded to Paris St-Germain, Real Madrid, and Liverpool for a combined sum of about £150 million, respectively.

Following the signings of Chelsea’s Djordje Petrovic, Chelsea’s goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic, left-back Adrien Truffert, for £14.4 million, and centre-back Bafode Diakite for £34.6 million, respectively, Milosavljevic and Jimenez will offer Iraola a second defensive option.

Dango Ouattara was also sold for £42.5 million to Brentford, which has a record-selling window and received a sum of £215 million in incoming transfer fees.

Amine Adli and Ben Gannon-Doak both signed for the club from champions Liverpool for £25 million earlier in the summer, while Amine Adli signed for Bayer Leverkusen for £25 million.

Ben Winterburn, a 20-year-old homegrown Cherries midfielder, signed a season-long loan deal with League Two side Barnet on deadline day.

Bournemouth have won two of their first three Premier League games this season, including a 1-0 win at Tottenham on Saturday, which places them seventh overall.
