Bournemouth are making significant moves in the transfer market, as they set their sights on Porto’s prolific striker Evanilson. Following the departure of Dominic Solanke to Tottenham Hotspur for a substantial £65 million, the Cherries are prepared to reinvest the funds into securing the services of the Brazilian forward.
According to Sky Sports, Bournemouth are looking to break their club record with a £40 million bid for the 24-year-old. If completed, this transfer would mark a bold statement of intent by the South Coast club as they strengthen their attacking options ahead of the new season.
Evanilson has been a standout performer for Porto since joining the Portuguese giants in 2020. Over the past four years, he has amassed an impressive 60 goals in 154 appearances, establishing himself as one of the most reliable goal-scorers in the Primeira Liga. His performances have not gone unnoticed, especially after a remarkable 2023–24 campaign where he found the net 27 times across all competitions.
The Brazilian striker, Evanilson, is currently under contract with Porto until the summer of 2027, which means Bournemouth will need to meet the Portuguese club’s demands to secure his signature. However, with the significant funds generated from Solanke’s sale, the Cherries are in a strong position to bring Evanilson to the Vitality Stadium.
This potential transfer highlights Bournemouth’s ambition to compete at the highest level of English football, and the acquisition of Evanilson would be a major boost to their attacking lineup. The Cherries’ fans will be eagerly anticipating the arrival of the talented Brazilian as they look to build on last season’s successes.
