"I don't think I would have gotten the minutes I wanted at Milan this season. The opportunity to come here arose, and I saw it as an opportunity."
"Premier League football is much more physical and faster-paced than in Italy, where the game is more tactical. Given my characteristics, I feel more comfortable here."
"Who do I look up to? I've always had Carvajal as a role model because I was in Madrid for many years. Also Alexander-Arnold, Davies, and Theo Hernandez, with whom I was lucky enough to play at Milan."
Alex Jimenez's move to AFC Bournemouth has become permanent after loan conditions were met during the match against Aston Villa. The transfer totals €19m plus €5m in potential bonuses, with half of the fee owed to Real Madrid under a resale clause. AC Milan allowed the exit in the summer to enable a new Premier League experience through a loan with an option to buy that could convert to an obligation. Jimenez felt he would not have received the minutes he wanted at Milan this season and viewed the Bournemouth opportunity as a chance for more playing time. He prefers the Premier League's more physical, faster-paced style and names Carvajal, Alexander-Arnold, Davies, and Theo Hernandez as role models.
