Alex Jimenez is swapping the Premier League for Serie A, with Bournemouth confirming the Spanish defender's season-long loan move to Fiorentina.
According to BBC News, the switch will see Jimenez spend the entirety of the upcoming campaign in Florence, seeking regular football away from the Cherries.
The move represents a fresh test for the young defender, who will look to establish himself in Italian football under Fiorentina's setup before any decision is made on his long-term future at Bournemouth.
Full details of the loan agreement, including any option or obligation to make the move permanent, have not been disclosed by either club at this stage.
Bournemouth will continue to monitor his progress in Serie A, with the arrangement giving Jimenez the chance to develop his game in a new league before potentially returning to the south coast club once the loan spell concludes at the end of the season.
