Manchester United<\/a> and Liverpool<\/a> have learned the asking price for Bournemouth\u2019s midfielder Alex Scott, with both clubs set to battle for his signature next summer, according to Ben Jacobs<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Both clubs are expected to carry out a major squad revamp to strengthen their team heading into the next season.<\/p>\n Liverpool\u2019s abysmal title defence led to the sacking of Arne Slot, with former Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola now appointed.<\/p>\n The Basque manager will look to improve on the Reds\u2019 performances last season, and efforts are now underway to provide him with the players best suited to his tactics, including Scott, who thrived under him on the South Coast.<\/p>\n United, on the other hand, have made midfield reinforcements a priority this summer following the departure of Casemiro<\/a>.<\/p>\n While Michael Carrick\u2019s side have already signed Ederson in a \u00a335m deal from Atalanta<\/a>, uncertainties surrounding Manu Ugarte\u2019s future suggest the club could add another midfielder this summer.<\/p>\n Following a stellar season at Bournemouth, Jacobs<\/em> reports that Liverpool and Man Utd have set their sights on Scott as a viable option to reinforce their midfield ranks.<\/p>\n However, amid interest from the Premier League<\/a> giants, Bournemouth owner Bill Foley is insistent on retaining the 23-year-old at\u00a0Vitality Stadium, and there\u2019s optimism he will sign a new contract with a release clause similar to the terms of Antoine Semenyo\u2019s deal before joining Manchester City<\/a>, the report adds.<\/p>\n As a result, both Liverpool and United have now learned the asking price for Scott, with Jacobs<\/em> adding that the Cherries have placed a valuation of around \u00a380m on the Englishman, who is also of interest to Tottenham<\/a> Hotspur.<\/p>\n At Bournemouth, Iraola maximised Scott\u2019s versatility by using him in both the number eight and number ten positions. His refined technical ability enables him to dictate the rhythm of games, while his intelligence in possession allows him to influence play across the pitch.<\/p>\n After a man-of-the-match showing against Arsenal<\/a> in April, where he scored the winner, the 43-year-old manager described Scott as \u2018amazing<\/a>\u2018, and it\u2019s no surprise he\u2019s being linked with a reunion with the midfield gem.<\/p>\n United, on the other hand, need more steel in the middle of the park, and Scott could offer just that, which would allow Bruno Fernandes and the other attackers to thrive upfront.<\/p>\n![\"Rememore](\"https:\/\/football-talk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/FootballTalk_New_Chapter-rememore.png\")
