During the alleged exchange, the female says that she is 15. When she then asks Jimenez, if he cares, he responded: “Well of course it matters to me. But I like smaller girls. I’ve never been with a 15-year-old girl.”
Jimenez was immediatly suspended by Bournemouth and hasn't made an appearance since the 3-0 win over Crystal Palace in May.
Now, per Fabrizio Romano, Jimenez is set to leave Bournemouth and join Italian side Fiorentina on an initial loan.
Fiorentina will have an option to buy for €20 million included in the deal, with Jimenez undergoing his medical today (July 11).
