There are no indications that Bournemouth’s Premier League aspirations will abate. According to recent sources, they plan to exercise Tyler Adams’ $25 million release clause. Adams is an adaptable American midfield player for Leeds.
Adams’ tenure at Elland Road has been the subject of numerous transfer rumors, particularly in the wake of Leeds’ shocking relegation to the Championship. At 24, this talented USMNT player appears ready to leave Leeds United and return to the Premier League.
It’s interesting to note that Chelsea was about to sign the midfield player. Though Leeds and Chelsea shook hands over the $25 million option for Adams, this deal fell through when Chelsea decided to sign Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia instead.
Adams is still healing from his March injury.
Adams isn’t ready to take the field just yet, though. He had to have surgery in March of last year due to an unlucky hamstring injury that kept him out of action. Due to this injury, he has not been able to play for Leeds United or the United States men’s national team. He is anticipated to return after the September international series.
Adams is apparently being pursued by teams like Brighton, Aston Villa, and Manchester United, therefore Bournemouth is stepping up its negotiations.
Bournemouth’s spirited performances during the previous season helped them avoid relegation. This continued in their opening Premier League encounter against West Ham, where they drew the game and leveled the score following a goal by Jarrod Bowen.
Under the direction of new manager Andoni Iraola, Bournemouth is establishing itself as one of the most proactive teams in the summer transfer window, with Adams perhaps becoming their ninth recruit. The Cherries have a clear plan in place for the upcoming season: a restructured and strengthened roster.
