Following relegation from the Premier League, Aaron Ramsdale is reportedly set to become the latest Bournemouth departure. According to Peter Rutzler of The Athletic, the Cherries have reluctantly accepted a bid in the region of £18.5 million with a 15% sell-on clause taking it to £21 million. Sky Sports also understands that, despite the accepted bid, personal terms are yet to be agreed.
REPORT: Aaron Ramsdale Set to Leave Bournemouth
Back Where It All Began for Ramsdale
By switching the Championship with Bournemouth for the Premier League with Sheffield United, Ramsdale will be doing the exact opposite to what he did in 2017.
Three years ago, Ramsdale set off for the top flight and Bournemouth in a £1 million deal from Sheffield United. Now, to come full circle, if reports are to be believed, Ramsdale is set to return to where it all began.
Dean Henderson’s Place in Manchester United’s Squad Confirmed?
After a successful loan spell at the Blades last season, Dean Henderson has returned to Manchester United. The Englishman is set to compete with veteran David De Gea alongside the also experienced Sergio Romero for the number one spot. All three keepers have shown their worth to Ole Gunnar Solskjær, who may be forced into a tough decision this summer.
Though, it has to be said, with Ramsdale reportedly moving to Sheffield United, Henderson’s place at United looks safer than ever. A move to the Blades would have undoubtedly occurred if Henderson was not in the plans of Solskjær this season. Ramsdale’s potential move should put an end to any speculation regarding Henderson this summer.
Another Huge Loss for Bournemouth
First, it was Ryan Fraser before the season could even reach its end. Then, it was Nathan Ake on a £40 million deal to Manchester City. And now, in the latest Bournemouth departure, Ramsdale is set to swap relegation for Sheffield United stardom.
Bournemouth, at the very least, will need to spend the resulting money wisely this summer. The departed players are a huge blow, but they can also act as a blessing for Bournemouth as they look to rebuild a once-great squad.
