Bournemouth considers buying Mandas as Lazio plans goalkeeper changes
Summary

Bournemouth is weighing a potential purchase of goalkeeper Christos Mandas, who has been on loan from Lazio. Currently, Lazio has three goalkeepers competing for spots, including Ivan Provedel, who is likely to leave for Inter Milan. Mandas has not yet played for Bournemouth and the club is reluctant to activate their €18 million buy option. However, with a new manager and European competition ahead, they see potential in keeping him for a lower price. Lazio's new manager has expressed a desire to retain Mandas, likely positioning him as the first choice if Provedel departs.
