Bournemouth stand firm on Alex Scott as Rose sets early priorities
Bournemouth, alongside Juventus and Benfica, eye Lecce centre-back Tiago Gabriel. Italians want around €20m after his 37 Serie A games and 2 goals. Tiago Pinto is driving the Cherries’ interest.
New boss Marco Rose will assess squad depth, resolve the Alex Jimenez right-back issue, replace Marcos Senesi with a left-sided centre-back, and finalise his coaching team before pre-season friendlies.
Man City, Man Utd and Arsenal make approaches for Alex Scott, but Bournemouth tell all three he is not for sale and value him around £80m. Club in talks over new deal with a 2027 release clause.
Man Utd monitor Bournemouth winger Rayan after his 5 goals and 2 assists. Bournemouth insist he stays for 2026/27, with a €100m clause active in 2027, making any summer move unlikely.
