Alex Tóth has officially completed his medical and signed his contract to join AFC Bournemouth from Ferencváros. The deal is worth an initial €12 million, with additional performance-related bonuses that could see the total package rise further.
The 20-year-old Hungarian international has committed to a long-term project at the Vitality Stadium, signing a five-and-a-half-year deal that runs until June 2031.
The Details
- The Fee: €12m guaranteed + add-ons.
- The Contract: Signed until 2031.
- The Race: Bournemouth successfully beat out competition from Lazio, Benfica, and Juventus to secure the midfielder’s signature.
The “Next Szoboszlai”?
Tóth arrives on the South Coast with a massive reputation. Having captained Ferencváros at just 18, he has already earned nine caps for the Hungary senior team.
Known for his versatility as a deep-lying playmaker who can also operate in a more advanced role, he is seen as the ideal replacement for the injured Tyler Adams.
The club statement from both Bournemouth and Ferencváros is expected imminently, marking Tóth as the Cherries’ third major arrival of the January window following Fraser Forster and Ade Solanke.
