Man United Lead Reported Summer Chase for Bournemouth Midfielder Alex Scott

Overview

• Late May reports, largely citing TEAMtalk, say several Premier League clubs are tracking 22-year-old Alex Scott with Manchester United described as the most determined suitor; none of the moves has been confirmed.
• Scott broke through in 2025–26, playing 39 matches, earning an England call-up and helping Bournemouth reach European qualification, which has raised his transfer profile.
• Bournemouth hold clear leverage because Scott is under contract until 2028 and the club is reported to value him at about £60 million or more and to prefer keeping him.
• Other clubs named in coverage as tracking Scott include Arsenal and Chelsea plus Liverpool, Tottenham, Aston Villa, Newcastle and Manchester City, though the depth of each club’s interest varies across reports.
• A concrete next step to watch is whether Bournemouth open fresh contract talks or receive a formal bid this summer, which would determine whether Scott stays to develop or moves and how several top clubs reshape their midfield plans.
