CHERRIES' move for midfielder Gaetano Castrovilli has collapsed after the Italian failed his medical.

Reportedly Cherries had agreed a fee worth £10.4million, rising potentially to £12.1million.  

A four-time international for Italy, Castrovilli’s recent seasons have been hampered by differing injury issues.

He required knee surgery in April 2022, keeping him out until December, before a calf issue kept him out again in January and February 2023.

Translated from Italian, Fiorentina posted a statement on their website stating: “We inform you that the player Gaetano Castrovilli, who underwent medical examinations yesterday in preparation for the finalisation of a transfer to Bournemouth, will return to Italy today, as the results of the medical tests carried out were not considered suitable.

“The player will therefore return to Italy to return to Fiorentina starting Monday and carry out his regular competitive activity having passed all the necessary medical tests in Italy for the performance of his competitive activity.”
