AFC Bournemouth are being linked with a number of moves as the transfer window approaches, with the latest reports connecting them to a Queens Park Rangers striker. 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 concerns United States international Malik Tillman, but below are the latest updates on the most important transfer rumours surrounding the club.
Malik Tillman
On Wednesday, it was reported that Bournemouth are among several Premier League clubs interested in signing Malik Tillman, who wants to move to England due to limited opportunities at Bayer Leverkusen. The most concrete interest in the United States international comes from Fulham and Brentford, who are reportedly prepared to match the fee Leverkusen paid for him. According to an exclusive from TEAMtalk, Bournemouth have also become interested, having monitored the player and made contact about a potential deal. West Ham United have also shown interest. It is understood that Leverkusen is willing to sell for an acceptable price, but a €35 million buy-back clause held by his former club Bayern Munich could complicate negotiations and influence the final asking price, which is expected to be €35 million or more.
Rumarn Burrell
A report from Pete O’Rourke on Thursday stated that Bournemouth, Wolves, and Sunderland are monitoring Queens Park Rangers striker Rumarn Burrell. The 25-year-old Jamaican international's current contract with QPR is valid until 2030.
Alex Scott
On Thursday, The Mirror reported that Manchester United are expected to make an official bid for Bournemouth’s Alex Scott soon. Bournemouth are said to be reluctant to lose the player and will demand a fee of approximately €60 million (around £50m) to consider a sale. This follows a report from CaughtOffside on Tuesday that Chelsea are prepared to compete with Manchester United for the midfielder's signature.
E. Kroupi
Football Insider reported on Tuesday that Bournemouth forward Eli Junior Kroupi is open to leaving the club this summer if an offer is made by Arsenal. The Daily Mail had previously reported eight days ago that Arsenal are among the clubs keen on the player.
Marcus Tavernier
According to a TEAMtalk report on Thursday, Marcus Tavernier is a target for Newcastle United. Sources indicate that Newcastle are increasing their work on attacking reinforcements and Tavernier is on their shortlist. Bournemouth does not intend to approve the sale of several key players, and Tavernier's contract, which runs until 2029, gives the club a favorable negotiating position.
Caleb Yirenkyi
According to Ekrem Konur on Monday, AFC Bournemouth is interested in Caleb Yirenkyi. A Danish club has reportedly set its asking price at approximately £22 million, which is almost €25.7 million.
Milan van Ewijk
Reports from Friday suggest Coventry could demand £25m for right-back Milan van Ewijk amid widespread interest from the Premier League. AFC Bournemouth, Brighton, and Everton are reportedly interested in the player, and Crystal Palace also has a firm interest in signing him.
