Breaking news”- Dominic Solanke’s makes his stance on his transfer to Tottenham clear, after strong interest from Tottenham to make him their new HARRY KANE, AFC Bournemouth decision also revealed
HITC has elaborated on Bournemouth’s position regarding the potential sale of Dominic Solanke this summer and the striker’s own perspective on a possible transfer, especially with interest from high-profile clubs such as Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea.
Dominic Solanke’s Stellar Season and the Rising Interest
Bournemouth’s Dominic Solanke had an exceptional season in the Premier League under the management of Andoni Iraola. The Spanish coach effectively utilized Solanke’s abilities, which led the former Liverpool forward to score an impressive 19 goals throughout the league campaign. This contribution played a key role in Bournemouth’s respectable mid-table finish. Solanke’s standout performances have understandably attracted the attention of several elite Premier League teams, including Tottenham Hotspur, managed by Ange Postecoglou.
Bournemouth’s Stance on Solanke
Tottenham Hotspur, who are actively seeking a new striker this summer, initially targeted Santiago Gimenez of Feyenoord. Despite this, Solanke has also become a point of interest for Spurs. However, Tottenham’s interest in Solanke is not unique, as other top clubs have also taken note of the English striker’s potential.
According to HITC, Bournemouth has not yet received any official inquiries or offers for Solanke since the transfer window opened, and they are not currently expecting to lose him. In June, it was reported that Chelsea was contemplating a move for Solanke, their former player, while Tottenham has been considering him as an option. The significant release clause in Solanke’s contract, set at £65 million, is applicable only to clubs in the Premier League’s top six—Chelsea, Tottenham, Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City, and Manchester United.
Despite the substantial release clause, Bournemouth is confident that Solanke will remain at the club this summer. The club’s position is clear: they do not anticipate losing their star forward, and the hefty release clause is seen as a deterrent for potential suitors.
Solanke’s Perspective on a Possible Transfer
Solanke himself is reportedly open to the idea of moving to a top-six club if the opportunity arises. While he is receptive to exploring options with elite teams, sources indicate that Solanke is also highly content with his situation at Bournemouth. He appears satisfied with his performances under Iraola and would be comfortable staying with the Cherries if no formal offers materialize.
Bournemouth’s owner, Bill Foley, recently addressed the ongoing speculation regarding Solanke’s future. In an interview with the BBC, Foley was candid about his expectations. “I believe Dom is going to be with us this coming year,” Foley stated. “He has a release clause, which is very expensive. We shouldn’t disclose too many details about the contract, but that figure [£65 million] sounds approximately correct. If someone does come in for him, we would have to look at replacing him. However, I firmly believe that Dom will remain with us and I anticipate he will score 21 or 22 goals this season.”
Foley’s comments underscore Bournemouth’s commitment to retaining Solanke, despite the growing interest from other clubs. The club’s confidence in their striker and the high release clause reflect their determination to keep Solanke as a crucial part of their squad for the upcoming season.
