AC Milan linked with Bournemouth's Alex Scott in Sunday transfer gossip
On 10 October 2026 the Daily Star on Sunday back page reported that AC Milan are looking at Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott, according to a BBC Sport gossip column published that day. The same roundup also linked Bayern Munich with Manchester United teenager JJ Gabriel and named Liverpool among suitors for Barcelona full-back Jules Kounde.
The BBC Sport item assembled transfer rumours sourced from several European outlets, covering potential moves, contract clauses and valuations. It cites Tuttomercatoweb, Sky Sports Germany, A Bola, Fichajes and Goal as the originators of the individual stories. The column includes stories about senior and youth targets across clubs in Italy, Germany, Spain, Portugal and England.
Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott, 23, is reported as wanted by AC Milan, who remain keen on the England international despite his increasing value, the piece says. The Alex Scott claim is attributed to Tuttomercatoweb (in Italian).
Bayern Munich have held fresh talks with 16-year-old Manchester United attacking midfielder JJ Gabriel but have not made him an offer, with a feeling he is leaning towards a move to Spain and Barcelona and Real Madrid described as favourites to sign him, according to Sky Sports Germany. The report specifies the negotiations were talks rather than a formal bid.
Porto are said to have increased the release clause in the contract of 20-year-old Brazil forward William Gomes to 100m euros (£85m) amid interest from Liverpool, with the claim credited to A Bola (in Portuguese). The story ties the clause change directly to reported Liverpool interest.
Liverpool are also reported to be interested in Barcelona's Jules Kounde, with the La Liga side open to offers of £60m for the France full-back, a claim attributed to Fichajes (in Spanish). The item frames Kounde as a possible incoming target for Liverpool if that valuation prompts offers.
Chelsea remain interested in Monaco midfielder Lamine Camara, 22, after missing out on him in the summer but the Blues will not pay the Ligue 1 club's 70m euro (£59m) valuation for the Senegal international, and Manchester City made an approach to sign 17-year-old USA forward Mathis Albert from Borussia Dortmund in the summer, the BBC column reports via Goal.
The gossip column also references a separate item titled "Arsenal eye deal for teenager Mora" under Saturday's gossip, which appears alongside the other stories in the BBC Sport roundup.
