The AFC Bournemouth is already beginning to plan its squad for the upcoming season, and one key point in their strategy is to strengthen their attack. With the possibility of losing one of their standout players from the "cherries" squad, the English club has launched a search for a forward who can fit into Andoni Iraola's system. The sports management has already identified a specific target in LaLiga, and discussions could intensify in the coming weeks.

The outstanding season of Antoine Semenyo has not gone unnoticed. His performance has attracted interest from several clubs, which could lead to his departure at the end of the season. Faced with this scenario, Bournemouth is proactively moving to secure a reliable replacement. The sought-after profile is that of a forward with potential, combining power and scoring instinct, essential traits for Iraola's system.

Bournemouth would be willing to offer more than 30 million for this player.

In this context, the English club has set its sights on Thierno Barry, a forward currently playing for Villarreal. His performance in Spanish football has caught the attention of several teams, and Bournemouth is prepared to make a significant offer to secure him. His release clause amounts to 40 million euros, but the Premier League entity aims to finalize the deal for a figure ranging between 30 and 35 million.

Bournemouth's interest in Barry stems from his ability to play as a focal point in attack and his potential for growth. The Villarreal forward has proven to be a player with a scoring instinct and technical skills to dominate in the opponent's area. Adapting to the pace of the Premier League would be a challenge, but the English club is confident that his talent can make a difference.

As the transfer market approaches, Semenyo's situation will be crucial in defining Bournemouth's moves. If the Ghanaian ultimately leaves the team, the club will expedite efforts to secure Barry's arrival. Currently, the interest is firm, and all indications point to Iraola's team making a significant effort to acquire his services.
