AFC Bournemouth sign Vina from Roma on loan

AFC Bournemouth have completed the loan signing of left-back Matias Vina from Roma.

The 25-year-old joins AFC Bournemouth from the Serie A side with a view to making the deal permanent at the end of the season.

Vina becomes the Cherries’ fourth signing of the January transfer window, after Dango Ouattara, Darren Randolph and Antoine Semenyo.

“Matias will provide strong competition for places in our youthful squad and we welcome him to AFC Bournemouth,” chief executive Neill Blake told the club’s official website.

Vina featured 44 times across one-and-a-half seasons for Roma, helping Jose Mourinho’s side to win the 2021/22 UEFA Europa Conference League.

He has also been capped 28 times by Uruguay, and featured twice in the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar.

Vina could make his debut on 4 February when AFC Bournemouth travel to Brighton & Hove Albion.
