Leverkusen Still Considering Move for Justin Kluivert, But Bournemouth Reluctant to Sell
Bayer Leverkusen are reportedly still weighing up a move for Bournemouth winger Justin Kluivert this summer, but the Premier League side are understood to be reluctant to part ways with the Dutch international.
Sources close to the German club suggest that Leverkusen view Kluivert as a potential addition to bolster their attacking depth, particularly as they prepare for a busy season that includes Champions League football. The 25-year-old’s pace, creativity, and versatility across the front line make him a highly attractive option for Ten Hang side.
However, Bournemouth are not keen on selling. The Cherries consider Kluivert a key part of their plans going forward, especially after the player impressed in his debut Premier League season. The former Roma and RB Leipzig winger has settled well on the south coast and remains under contract, giving Bournemouth strong control over his future.
Club sources have made it clear that only a significant offer would prompt any change in stance, with head coach Andoni Iraola believing Kluivert still has more to offer in the Premier League.
With Leverkusen yet to submit a formal bid, the situation remains fluid—but Bournemouth’s current position suggests any deal could be difficult to complete unless the German side return with a compelling offer.
