Bournemouth are very interested in Evan Ndicka!

AFC Bournemouth are already planning for potential European football next season, with the Cherries targeting a defensive reinforcement capable of adding both solidity and leadership.

Evan Ndicka has emerged as a priority target. The 26‑year‑old Ivorian international has impressed with his physical presence, consistency, and experience at the highest level — all qualities Bournemouth believe could help them take the next step.

According to 225foot, no official bid has been made yet, but the interest is genuine. Since joining Roma on a free transfer, Ndicka has established himself as a mainstay in the Italian side’s defence, fulfilling the potential he first showed at Eintracht Frankfurt.

Financial constraints at Roma, however, could complicate matters. Under UEFA’s financial fair play rules, the Serie A club may be forced to sell players this summer. While Ndicka is under contract until 2028, a departure cannot be ruled out should a suitable offer arrive.

Ndicka is currently valued at around €35 million, but Roma are believed to be hoping for closer to €40 million. The defender earns an annual salary of €5.13 million.
