Scott deal to be explored

Man Utd are expected to explore a move for Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott, according to Ben Jacobs.

The 22-year-old is surging up Man Utd's shortlist after they missed out on Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali. Bournemouth continue to insist that Scott is not for sale and are planning fresh contract talks with him.

However, Jacobs understands that this stance is set to be tested "in the coming days," which suggests that clubs, including Man Utd, are ready to make offers for the England starlet.

Man Utd's Bouaddi problem

Man Utd are among the clubs interested in Lille sensation Ayyoub Bouaddi, but there is a problem, TEAMtalk claims.

Man City and PSG have indicated that they would be willing to buy the Moroccan this summer and then loan him back to Lille next season. This has prompted the Ligue 1 club to make a deal for the €70 million-rated youngster contingent on their ability to keep him until 2027.

Most of his suitors would be willing to agree to such a formula. However, Man Utd and Liverpool are said to be reluctant to make a major investment this summer, only to then have to wait until next year before being able to use the player. This could put them at a significant disadvantage in the race to sign him.

Tchouameni deal off

The same outlet also writes that Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho has decided that Aurelien Tchouameni is not for sale this summer.

It was initially expected that Real Madrid would be willing to listen to offers for the France international to fund their incoming business. However, deals for Enzo Fernandez and Rodri now look unlikely, with Mourinho instead prioritising another defensive signing.

As a result, he has decided that he wants to build his team around Tchouameni, who is believed to be a "dream" target for Man Utd. The Red Devils had been expected to explore a move for him this summer.

Mora to move to the Premier League

Tijuana wonderkid Gilberto Mora will move to the Premier League in January, Rodrigo Lara asserts.

The 17-year-old is the youngest player at this summer's World Cup and recently extended his contract at Tijuana. However, Mora turns 18 in October, and there is an exit mechanism in his deal that allows him to move to Europe quite easily.

Man Utd are among the clubs keeping tabs on the Mexican sensation. "In six months, during the winter transfer window, Gilberto Mora is going to take off, he’s going to compete, he’s going to be a Premier League player," Lara said.

Summerville clause

West Ham winger Crysencio Summerville is available for around €47m due to a release clause, as per TEAMtalk.

The Netherlands international is being chased by various Premier League clubs following the Hammers' relegation, including Man Utd and Chelsea. It was previously suggested that West Ham have quoted a price of around €60m.

However, when he joined from Leeds, a release clause was inserted in his deal that allows suitors to bypass club-to-club talks. Had West Ham survived, signing him would have cost up to €80m. Due to their relegation, the clause has dropped to €47m.
