Man United Transfer Intel: Scott Bid Expected, Bouaddi Hurdle Emerges, Tchouameni Ruled Out

Manchester United are preparing to test Bournemouth’s resolve over midfielder Alex Scott, according to Ben Jacobs. The 22-year-old has climbed the club’s shortlist following missed moves for Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali. Bournemouth maintain Scott is not for sale and plan to open contract talks, but sources indicate an offer could arrive in the coming days. The Red Devils face a dilemma in their pursuit of Lille teenager Ayyoub Bouaddi. Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain have signaled willingness to buy the €70m-rated Moroccan this summer and loan him back to Lille until 2027. Most suitors would accept that condition, but United and Liverpool are hesitant to commit major funds now without immediate use of the player. According to the same report, Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho has decided Aurelien Tchouameni is not for sale this summer. Initial expectations that Madrid would listen to offers to fund their business have faded, as moves for Enzo Fernandez and Rodri appear unlikely. Mourinho now wants to build around the France international, a player United view as a dream target. Tijuana prodigy Gilberto Mora, the youngest player at this summer’s World Cup, is set to move to the Premier League in January, claims journalist. The 17-year-old extended his contract at Tijuana but will turn 18 in October, activating an exit mechanism. United are among clubs monitoring the Mexican. West Ham winger Crysencio Summerville is available for around €47m thanks to a relegation-triggered release clause. The Dutchman, chased by United and Chelsea, would have cost up to €80m had West Ham stayed up. The clause allows buyers to bypass club negotiations.
