AFC Bournemouth continues to be active in the transfer market, with the latest incoming link concerning a defender from Italy's Serie A. Our analysis of the past seven days shows the club has been tied to 6 possible arrivals and 5 potential exits. The hottest storyline right now is about Tiago Gabriel, but below are the latest updates on the most important transfer rumours surrounding the club.
Marcus Pedersen
On Saturday, it was reported that Bournemouth is among several Premier League teams, including Hull City and Fulham, interested in Torino's Norwegian right-back Marcus Pedersen. Hull City recently had a €5 million offer for the 26-year-old turned down, and it is understood that the Italian club is asking for a transfer fee between €8 million and €10 million. There is also interest in him from the Bundesliga, while Fenerbahçe has identified Pedersen as a potential target, contingent on Nelson Semedo leaving the club.
Marcus Tavernier
Ben Jacobs reported last Saturday that Everton have made an enquiry for Marcus Tavernier and have initiated talks on the player's side. However, an approach has not yet been made to Bournemouth.
Alex Scott
On Friday, reports stated that Alex Scott is regarded as Chelsea's primary target. Marco Rose’s side are not interested in selling the England midfielder and have already rejected one offer, but Chelsea may submit a new bid worth up to €100m. This followed a report from The Guardian on Wednesday, which stated that Chelsea had made a new enquiry for the Bournemouth midfielder.
Noah Atubolu
The most recent update on Saturday noted that AFC Bournemouth is regarded as a competitor for Noah Atubolu, but has not yet made an offer to SC Freiburg.
E. Kroupi
On Sunday, El Nacional reported that Barcelona are considering Junior Kroupi of Bournemouth as an alternative to Julián Alvarez, a striker for Atlético.
Balázs Tóth
It was reported on Friday that Balázs Tóth has attracted interest from the Premier League this summer, with Bournemouth being one of the clubs interested in him. If the goalkeeper moves, he wants to be the first-choice, but it is unlikely he would get that role with an English top-flight side.
Tiago Gabriel
Bournemouth was among the clubs linked to Tiago Gabriel on Thursday. According to Corriere del Mezzogiorno, Lecce is not willing to consider offers far from a valuation of around €30 million. The club's sporting director, Trinchera, stated that while there have been numerous expressions of interest, there have been no negotiations yet, but he did not rule out that conditions may be created for them to begin soon.
