Bournemouth’s Danjuma joins Villarreal for record fee - More expensive than Alcácer

Bournemouth and Europa League winners Villarreal have agreed on the transfer of winger Arnaut Danjuma. The LaLiga club announced that the 24-year-old Dutchman has signed a contract until 2026.

Because his deal with the Championship club was originally running until 2024, a transfer fee will be due for the right-footed player. According to media reports, it amounts to €23.5 million – as a result, Danjuma replaces former Borussia Dortmund striker Paco Alcácer as Villarreal’s record signing.
