Enes Unal has left Bournemouth to rejoin Spanish club Getafe.

The Turkey striker, 29, leaves on a free transfer, although Bournemouth could receive up to £1.3m in bonuses as well as 20% of any future sale.

Unal endured an injury-hit time in England, making 58 appearances and scored five goals for the Cherries, who were also keen to reduce their wage bill.

He arrived on loan from Getafe in January 2024 before making the move permanent for about £13m later that year.

"A popular figure within the squad, Unal leaves having made a positive contribution both on and off the pitch during his time with the Cherries," said a Bournemouth statement.

"AFC Bournemouth would like to thank Enes for his efforts during his time with the club and wish him every success for the future."

Bournemouth, who are close to completing their summer transfer business, are now working on a move that would allow full-back Max Aarons to leave the club.
