Bournemouth are reportedly locked in a transfer battle with Marseille and Fulham for Borussia Mönchengladbach's Joe Scally. The 23-year-old US international is open to a move, with OM already in talks with the German club. Scally, who has 28 caps for the USA, has made 167 appearances for Gladbach since joining in 2021.
Who is Joe Scally?
The New York native is a product of the New York City FC academy. He moved to Germany in 2021 and quickly became a regular in Gladbach's side. Scally has contributed five goals and nine assists in his time at Borussia-Park. He also played at the last World Cup for the USA.
Why is Bournemouth interested?
Bournemouth finished 6th in the Premier League last season with 57 points. They scored 58 goals and conceded 54. The Cherries are looking to strengthen their squad ahead of the new campaign. Scally's versatility could be a valuable addition.
What happens next?
Marseille are keen on low-cost signings and have already entered into talks. However, no decision has been made yet. Scally's contract runs until 2027, so Gladbach are in a strong position. Bournemouth will need to act fast if they want to secure his signature.
