Bournemouth have completed the loan signing of Inter Milan goalkeeper Andrei Radu.

The Cherries have signed the Romania international on a season-long loan deal with an option to buy reportedly set at €8m (£6.9m).

Bournemouth chief executive Neil Blake told the club’s official website: “We’re pleased to welcome Andrei to the club for the forthcoming season.

“Andrei arrives with experience in Italy and France’s top divisions and he’ll provide strong competition to Neto and Darren Randolph.”

Radu has progressed through the youth ranks at Inter after joining the Italian giants in 2013, but he has been unable to force his way into the senior setup, making just five first-team appearances.

The 26-year-old has spent time out on loan at Avellino and Genoa, before the latter exercised an option to sign him on a permanent deal in 2019.

Inter were reluctant to let the shot-stopper leave the club and immediately re-signed him in the same transfer window.

Radu, who has earned four caps for Romania, was given regular playing time during loan spells with Serie A side Cremonese and French outfit Auxerre last season.

Radu becomes the latest addition under new Cherries boss Andoni Iraola, who has already signed Justin Kluivert, Milos Kerkez and Hamed Traore on permanent deals ahead of the 2023-24 season.

Earlier today, Bournemouth allowed goalkeeper Mark Travers to complete a loan move to Championship side Stoke City.
