Exclusive: Justin Kluivert Set for Atletico Madrid Move as Agent Pushes for La Liga Return

Bournemouth are set to be raided this summer, according to SportsBoom sources, and attacker Justin Kluivert is the latest player attracting interest from elsewhere after the Cherries’ impressive campaign.

The Dutchman is playing the best football of his career to date, reaching double figures in the Premier League for the first time as well as notching six assists.

Kluivert, 25, joined the club after a loan spell at Valencia back in 2023.

And his agent wants him to return to La Liga and is openly trying to influence a move to Atletico Madrid.

Jose Fortes said: “I would love for Justin to return to Spain. He has all the qualities to play for Atletico Madrid."

“He's a hard-working player. Dedicated to defence, with a lot of grit and talent. He would be the perfect fit for Atletico.”

It has been a brilliant campaign for the Cherries, that could still end up with a European spot. 

But it will seemingly be a transitional summer on the south coast, with a number of their top stars wanted by bigger clubs.

Defenders Dean Huijsen and Milos Kerkez are attracting strong interest from big hitters in the Premier League and abroad.

Ghanaian international Antoine Semenyo has garnered interest from both Liverpool and Arsenal, with Saudi Arabian clubs also sniffing around the player.

IRAOLA'S FUTURE IN DOUBT

With the vultures circling amid a mass exodus at the Vitality, boss Andoni Iraola could also be on his way out. 

The Cherries have been desperate to extend the former Rayo Vallecano man’s contract, which expires in 2026.

But, the Spaniard is being touted to replace struggling Ange Postecoglou at Tottenham Hotspur.

Iraola is understood to be Daniel Levy’s top target if he decides to sack the former Celtic boss.
