Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe believes their small stadium is a financial hindrance to the club.
Unlike other Premier League sides, Bournemouth do not have very much money to spend each summer.
And it is partially due to the minimal match-day revenue they earn from their 11,464 capacity stadium. Bournemouth made a £10.9 million loss this year.
"I think at this football club we're slightly different to everyone else in the Premier League," Howe said in his press conference.
"Operating at a financial loss is never something we want to do, but I think there's going to be some short-term pain for the club until we can move to a bigger ground and increase revenue streams in different ways.
"We're still trying to recruit younger players, so the long-term side of the team squad is in a good place. That will cost money at this level.
"There's other costs involved in there as well, but the long-term prospects are very strong. The club has never been in such a strong position but we still have hurdles to overcome.
"The training ground is a big push of mine, we are trying to complete that and of course the stadium too."
