Some of you have been using our Ask Me Anything about Bournemouth form to query the likelihood of the Cherries holding onto players like Rayan and Eli Junior Kroupi this summer.
Bournemouth will expect to lose them someday if their form continues and they are powerless to stop it if certain bids come in.
However, especially in Rayan’s case, the fee will be so large that he would be unlikely to leave.
There is a feeling that the recently-capped Brazil international will complete at least one season before encouraging any big clubs to trigger his release clause of 100m euros.
Unfortunately, the better players that join Bournemouth, the harder it is to keep them for many seasons.
