Bournemouth reportedly reach agreement to sign Porto's Evanilson

The Italian journalist came forward with the information this Thursday, guaranteeing that there is an agreement between the two parties and that a medical is already scheduled.

The Portuguese press points to the deal materialising for 37 million euros immediately, plus 10 million euros in add-ons.

Bournemouth see Evanilson as the ideal replacement for Dominic Solanke, the team's figurehead in recent seasons, who left for Tottenham earlier in the transfer window for a fee in excess of 70 million euros (£59.8m).

On the Porto side, Evanilson will provide a significant and much-needed boost to the Dragons' budget, who have alternatives in the squad such as Fran Navarro, Danny Namaso and Toni Martínez.

The 24-year-old Brazilian international, who took part in the last Copa America, had his most productive campaign last season, being FC Porto's top scorer with 25 goals in 42 appearances, including a hat-trick in the Champions League against Antwerp.

Born in Fortaleza, Evanilson arrived in the north of Portugal in 2020/21, initially playing for the B team, where he scored six goals in five games, becoming part of the first team in a somewhat irregular way, but one that convinced Sérgio Conceição.

In 2021/22, his first season as a regular, he scored 21 goals in 46 games. In all, he scored 60 goals and registered 17 assists in 154 games with the Portuguese giants.
