Bournemouth are determined to resist any summer offers for Eli Junior Kroupi, Rayan and Alex Scott with mounting interest in the trio. The club are confident Scott will sign a new long-term contract despite interest from Premier League rivals and Europe\u2019s biggest clubs are monitoring the 19-year-olds Rayan and Kroupi, revelations since signing.<\/p>\n

Scott has been a standout performer for Bournemouth, who qualified for the Europa League<\/a>, and the club are keen to reward their \u00a325m buy from Bristol City three years ago with a new deal.<\/p>\n

Scott was called up to the England squad in November and although he was not named in Thomas Tuchel\u2019s 26-man World Cup squad, the 22-year-old will travel to Florida next month for England\u2019s training camp. The Guernsey-born midfielder could make his senior debut in friendlies against New Zealand or Costa Rica.<\/p>\n

Kroupi became the first teenager to score 13 goals in their debut Premier League season after arriving last summer from Bournemouth\u2019s sister club Lorient. Rayan, who joined from Vasco da Gama in January, is in the Brazil squad for the World Cup. Bournemouth expect Kroupi, a \u00a312m buy, to stay for at least another season and although there is a \u20ac100m (\u00a387m) release clause in Rayan\u2019s contract, it is understood it does not come into play until the 2027 summer window.<\/p>\n

Bournemouth have traditionally been open to trading players, but of their recent high-profile departures only Dean Huijsen left after one season. Last May, Real Madrid activated the \u00a350m release clause<\/a> in his contract.<\/p>\n

Bournemouth will play in Europe for the first time after Andoni Iraola led the club to a record sixth-placed finish, despite more than \u00a3250m in sales of key players during the season. Iraola\u2019s next move is unclear, with Milan joining Crystal Palace and Bayer Leverkusen in setting their sights on the coach.<\/p>\n

Bournemouth want to add three or four players. Their main priorities are a centre-back to replace the Argentina defender Marcos Senesi, who will leave on a free and has interest from Liverpool and Tottenham, and a striker to compete with Evanilson.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bournemouth are determined to resist any summer offers for Eli Junior Kroupi, Rayan and Alex Scott with mounting…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":608720,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-608719","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-football","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/608719","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=608719"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/608719\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/608720"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=608719"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=608719"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=608719"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
