Manchester City has set its sights on another Bournemouth player shortly after acquiring Antoine Semenyo from the club.
The Ghana international recently transferred to the Etihad Stadium for a fee estimated at around £65m, marking his move after three years with the Cherries.
Semenyo has made an impressive start, scoring in his first two appearances against Exeter City and Newcastle United in the FA Cup and Carabao Cup respectively.
Manchester City Eye Another Bournemouth Talent
However, Pep Guardiola's side is looking to expand its roster further, reportedly focusing on midfield talent.
According to a report from Fichajes, City has expressed interest in young Cherries midfielder Alex Scott.
The 22-year-old has made 21 Premier League appearances for Bournemouth this season and shares a history with Bristol City, similar to Semenyo. He is also the step-brother of Manchester United's Maya Le Tissier.
City is reportedly ready to offer over £50m for Scott, aiming to secure him before his price potentially increases, though they do not view him as an immediate starter.
Scott received his first senior call-up for England last year but has yet to make his debut for the national team.
Experts suggest that while this move is part of City's long-term strategy, it may not align with Scott's current career trajectory. As a vital player in a strong Bournemouth squad under top coach Andoni Iraola, limited game time at City could hinder his development.
Scott is valued at approximately €30m according to Transfermarkt.
