It is reported that the club has already agreed all key personal contract terms with the player. In addition, negotiations between Bournemouth and Benfica are in their final stages, with only a few details left to be ironed out.
However, the official completion of the deal will not take place this week. The Lisbon club intends to release the defender a bit later, after which the transfer can be fully finalized.
