Barcelona defender Julian Araujo is close to completing a move to AFC Bournemouth.
The Premier League side have agreed a deal with their La Liga counterparts to sign the right-back for €10million (£8.4m).
The 22-year-old will have a medical on Sunday before finalising a move to the south coast club on a five-year contract.
A Mexico international who was born in the United States, Araujo came through Barcelona’s U.S. academy before joining LA Galaxy in 2018.
He joined Barcelona in the summer of 2023 and spent the 2023-24 season on loan at La Liga club Las Palmas, where he made 28 appearances.
He made his senior international debut for Mexico in 2021, and has made 13 appearances for his country since then.
He missed the 2024 Copa America due to a hamstring injury.
Bournemouth begin their Premier League campaign against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on August 17.
