Bournemouth do not intend to sell any of their prized assets this summer, having seen head coach Andoni Iraola and defender Marcos Senesi leave the club at the end of their contracts on the south coast.
The Cherries qualified for European competition for the first time in the club's history this season, finishing sixth in the Premier League thanks to ending the season 18 games unbeaten to make it into the UEFA Europa League.
At the heart of that were a number of impressive young players - Eli Junior Kroupi, Rayan, Alex Scott, Adrien Truffert chief among them.
Midfielder Scott has garnered a lot of interest from other Premier League teams already this summer, despite the transfer window not yet being open.
Scott played a massive role for Bournemouth this season
The 22-year-old enjoyed a fine campaign at the Vitality Stadium, scoring three goals and assisting one from central midfield. He was trusted by Iraola, starting 34 of the Cherries' 38 Premier League matches, only missing the final game of the season after not being named in the squad.
Scott, who former Bristol City manager Nigel Pearson said was "destined for the elite", has only two years left on his current contract at Bournemouth, with Cherries officials keen to tie him down to a longer-term deal. However, they will face a battle to keep hold of him, with the likes of Manchester United, Liverpool and Tottenham all linked with making a move to sign him this summer.
United are in the market for at least two new central midfielders this summer, with Ederson expected to be the first through the door from Atalanta. Liverpool and Spurs may also move for midfield options as the summer goes on, too.
And all three clubs have been told how much it will cost to sign the midfielder this summer, if he does not put pen-to-paper on a new contract at the club.
Scott has a big price tag on his shoulders
GIVEMESPORT understands that Bournemouth value the player at around £80million.
Bournemouth owner Bill Foley is intent on keeping Scott with the hope that he will sign a new contract, likely with a release clause. This was the case when Antoine Semenyo extended last summer.
Roy Keane has been impressed by the midfielder, saying earlier this season: "I’ve watched him a few times and he’s an exciting player. He looks very comfortable on the ball, possesses real quality, and you can see why there’s a lot of interest in him. He doesn't look fazed by the occasion at all."
