Overview
- Multiple outlets reported on June 23 that Manchester United had explored the parameters of a deal for 22-year-old Alex Scott but no formal bid has been lodged.
- Bournemouth are intent on keeping Scott and plan to offer him a new contract that would run on top of his current deal through 2028.
- Media coverage places Bournemouth’s valuation around £60 million and says the club may seek to include a roughly £75 million release clause in any fresh contract.
- Arsenal and other top Premier League clubs are also tracking Scott, creating competition that would raise the cost and complexity of any transfer.
- United’s interest is framed as part of a wider midfield rebuild—they have an agreement for Atalanta’s Ederson, Casemiro has left, and Manuel Ugarte’s future could free space or funds for new signings.
