The Cherries are close to agreeing a £20million deal for France international Truffert.
They see him as a replacement for Milos Kerkez, who is expected to join Liverpool.
Truffert has scored two goals and provided two assists in 33 Ligue 1 games this season.
But the 23-year-old has understandably struggled to get into France‘s star-studded squad.
The full-back has made just one appearances for the Les Bleus, after receiving his first call-up fir two Uefa Nations League matches.
The switches get more complicated when you consider that Bournemouth were interested in Anfield left-back Andy Robertson.
The Villa Park outfit may struggle to bring the 32-year-old Scot to the West Midlands, considering Arne Slot’s stance on an exit.
Unai Emery is believed to be in the market for a new left-back with Frenchman Lucas Digne and Ian Maatsen failing to impress the Spaniard.

Bournemouth are also in the market for Spanish keeper Joan Garcia, who was linked with Arsenal.
The 24-year-old is set to sign for Barcelona from Espanyol — but could then be loaned out for a season in the Premier League.
