English football club Manchester United was reportedly prepared to offer £40 million (€47 million) for Bournemouth's Alex Scott. However, according to British newspaper The Mirror, the "Cherries" are demanding over £70 million (€82 million) for the 22-year-old midfielder.

The "Red Devils" reportedly deem the asking price too steep and are exploring alternative options. This summer transfer window has already seen them bring in midfielders Andrey Santos from Chelsea and Youri Tielemans from Aston Villa. Reigning champions Arsenal are also said to be potentially interested in Bournemouth's Scott.

The England youth international featured in 39 matches last season, contributing four goals and one assist. He is under contract with Bournemouth until the summer of 2028.
