The 25-year-old impressed for the Cherries in the second half of last season, making 17 Championship appearances, helping the club secure a return to the Premier League.
Bournemouth had allegedly been keen to sign the centre-back on a permanent basis this summer, but according to Football Insider, the defender will again only be allowed to leave on loan.
