Bournemouth have raised their asking price for Alex Scott following Elliot Anderson’s £116m transfer to Man City.
#mufc are not actively pursuing Scott as they continue to focus on a potential deal for Mateus Fernandes [@samuelluckhurst]
🚨 Manchester United are showing strong interest in Felix Nmecha, with Christopher Vivell a big admirer after working in Germany and pushing for a move.
While Dortmund have been linked with an £80m valuation, there's belief they'd be open to negotiating for the right offer. However, there's also concern his price could climb even higher depending on how Germany get on today and in the World Cup.

🚨 Chelsea have received £17m in compensation following Enzo Maresca's Manchester City appointment. And Maresca has already agreed a separate settlement
Maresca has publicly apologised following his Chelsea's resignation, while Chelsea say they feel "let down" by the Italian's departure since his "head and heart were focused on another club".
🗣️ Maresca: "The decision was only mine. My resignation from Chelsea opened a path for me to join Manchester City, which is a club I knew very well. I am ecstatic that I have now joined Manchester City.
"I recognise that my departure from Chelsea in the middle of the season caused disruption for the club and I apologise for that. It was neither my intention nor my wish."
Maresca was given permission to speak to Manchester City last year, but at the time Chelsea felt it would be with a view to continuing until the end of the season at the earliest.
🗣️ Chelsea statement: "Chelsea FC appreciates the 2025/26 season was a hugely disappointing one for the Club and its supporters. A major contributing factor was the disruption caused as a result of changes that the Club was forced to make to the Head Coach position over the Christmas period. Due to recent developments, we consider that it is important to explain to our supporters what happened and why our former Head Coach left the Club on 1 January 2026.
"In Autumn last year, the Club was informed by our former Head Coach that there might be an opportunity for him to succeed Pep Guardiola at the end of the season. It became clear to us that it was his strong desire to succeed Guardiola and that he was fully committed to pursuing the opportunity, despite the fact he was under a long-term contract which he had no right to terminate.
"In December 2025, our Head Coach unexpectedly and abruptly resigned from his position. Obviously, we felt let down as we believed that his head and heart were focused on another club and another opportunity, despite having just arrived at Chelsea the year before.
"No club wants to change its head coach midway through a season. However, in light of his decision not to continue fulfilling his responsibilities through to the end of the season, the Club was left with no choice but to protect our players, our supporters, and the Badge and accept his resignation.
"In the circumstances and given the mutual respect between clubs, a confidential settlement has been reached with Manchester City, which includes the payment of compensation. A confidential settlement has also been reached with the former Head Coach under which he will pay compensation.
"Looking forward to next season, in Xabi Alonso, we have a Manager who has an exceptional football mind and is a professional of the highest integrity. He has all the attributes to deliver the success the Club’s supporters deserve and expect."
🚨🏴 Elliot Anderson to be announced soon as first signing of new Enzo Maresca era at Man City after medical done and documents approved between clubs.
Final fee confirmed: £116m, club record signing for #MCFC breaking Jack Grealish move worth £100m.
Surely not long before we hear something on Fernandes, if he wanted Tottenham I think we’d hear something by now. Only way it happens if United pull out.
Clear he wants Manchester United.
