A deep dive into which players will be most likely to depart from the South Coast in what will be a very busy transfer window for AFC Bournemouth!
As Andoni Iraola has moved onto pastures new, player departures are going to be expected for AFC Bournemouth, despite qualifying for the Europa League in a historic previous season.
The first player that I think will move onto bigger and better things this summer window is Alex Scott. The Athletic have reported that Scott has turned down a contract extension, and with Iraola set to become Liverpool manager this week the Englishmen would fit into his system at the reds like a glove.
Alexis MacAllister is set to become available for transfer after the World Cup, and the midfield of Szobozslai and Scott as his replacement would be one of the best in the world without doubt.
With no relause clause in Scott's current contract, Bournemouth will be able to dictate a high asking price for the young talent.
REUTERS/Dylan MartinezThe next player that i think is likely to get a summer move for big money is French superstar Eli Jr Kroupi. With 13 goals in his debut season after his transfer from Lorient in Ligue 2, Kroupi has been linked with a plethora or europe's top clubs already this window.
Arsenal, PSG, Manchester City and Liverpool are all rumoured to have enquired on the price it would take to sign Kroupi, and Bournemouth are yet to respond with a figure.
Bournemouth fans have been talking on social media about a figure they would be happy to sell Kroupi for in and around £80 million, would you be happy with that amount of money?

With Evanilson and Kroupi rotating as the main number 9 options, the Turkish international was reported to be frustrated with the lack of minutes he recieved.
As Unal is a player with Premier League experience and a somewhat decent goal catalog, I can see him getting a move abroad to a team where he will be their main main up top.
The other drawback to us offloading Unal is his injury record, coming fresh off rupturing his ACL last summer clubs will skeptical of buying him, however there is certiainly a player in there and his goal tally when he was at Getafe in LaLiga.
