"The APL midfielder's transfer to 'Porta' is finalized at a price of 47 million euros"
Portuguese football club FC Porto is set to lose one of its star players, Évanilson da Lima, as Bournemouth is reportedly close to acquiring the Brazilian forward for a transfer fee of €47 million.
The 24-year-old forward, who joined Porto in September 2020 from Tombense for €8.8 million, has been a valuable asset to the club since his arrival. In his time at Porto, Évanilson has played 154 games, scoring an impressive 60 goals and providing 21 assists.
During his tenure with Porto, Évanilson has won the Portuguese Cup three times, the Portuguese League Cup once, the Portuguese Supercup once, and the Portuguese Championship. He has also competed in various tournaments, showcasing his versatility and skill on the pitch.
The transfer of Évanilson comes as Bournemouth looks to replace their top scorer Dominic Solanke, who was sold to Tottenham for €55 million plus €10 million in bonuses. Bournemouth finished 12th in the Premier League last season, earning 48 points in 38 games.
In addition to the transfer fee, Porto will also receive 10% of any future sale proceeds of Évanilson, ensuring that the club will continue to benefit from his success. The transfer fee and other financial details are yet to be confirmed by both clubs.
As of now, there is no verified information available about the transfer, but it is expected to be finalised in the coming days. Fans of both clubs eagerly await the official announcement of this exciting transfer.
European leagues, specifically the Premier League, could see the addition of Evanilson da Lima as Bournemouth pursues the Brazilian forward from FC Porto. Evanilson's former club, Porto, has been a significant part of his success, having won multiple trophies together and showcasing his skill in various tournaments.
