The striker enjoyed a prolific 2023-24 season as he plundered 21 goals in 42 games to help the Cherries finish 12th in the Premier League. As a result, Solanke has been linked with several top clubs – including Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and a potential return to Chelsea.
But Foley believes that Solanke is likely to remain on the south coast for the 2024-25 season – and is confident the 26-year-old will enjoy another fruitful campaign. Speaking to BBC Sport, Foley said: “I believe Dom is going to be with us this coming year. He has a release clause, which is very expensive. We shouldn’t reveal anything about the contract, but that area (£65 million) sounds roughly correct.
“I guess if someone comes for him, we are going to have to replace him. We have two or three candidates that we have lined up. But I believe Dom will be here next year and I believe he is going to score 21 or 22 goals.”
Bournemouth are preparing for their second season under head coach Andoni Iraola. After a difficult start last season, the Cherries picked up markedly to accrue their best-ever points tally (48) in the Premier League. Foley is now hoping that Bournemouth could finish in the top 10.
