Sevilla defender Juanlu Sanchez calls Bournemouth move 'win-win'
A football player named Juanlu Sanchez plays for a team in Spain called Sevilla.
He is moving to a team in England called Bournemouth.
Juanlu said this is a good deal, or a 'win-win,' for both teams.
Sevilla needs the money, and Juanlu wants to grow as a player.
The move costs about 11 million euros, which is about 12.7 million dollars.
Juanlu will stay at Bournemouth for several years, until 2030.
On the same day, Sevilla said they are getting a new goalkeeper named Fran Gonzalez from Real Madrid.
Fran is 21 years old and played many games for Real Madrid's younger team.
He will help Sevilla by being ready to play if the main goalkeeper cannot.
Sevilla wing-back Juanlu Sanchez confirmed he is on the verge of joining Premier League club Bournemouth, signing a contract through June 2030.
The 22-year-old described the reported 11 million euro (12.7 million USD) transfer as a 'win-win' because Sevilla needed the income and he needed to keep growing.
Sanchez spoke at Seville airport on Wednesday before flying to England to complete the deal, with Bournemouth now coached by Marco Rose.
Sevilla confirmed the signing of 21-year-old goalkeeper Fran Gonzalez from Real Madrid on a contract through June 2031, his sixth signing of the summer.
