Man United, Man City Step Up Monitoring of Bournemouth’s Alex Scott

Bournemouth are preparing a new deal to protect his value, making a January departure improbable.

Overview

  • TEAMtalk-cited reports say Manchester United and Manchester City are keeping close tabs on the 22-year-old with a view to potential summer moves.
  • Aston Villa and Newcastle are also tracking the midfielder, while Tottenham’s interest has cooled following their signing of Conor Gallagher.
  • Bournemouth are expected to offer Scott fresh terms to secure his future and strengthen their negotiating position.
  • A mid-season sale is viewed as unlikely, with interested clubs focusing on scouting and groundwork ahead of the summer window.
  • Scott’s rise under Andoni Iraola and a November England call-up have heightened demand, with any fee expected to exceed indicative estimates such as the £26m valuation reported by Transfermarkt.
