Michael Carrick
Bournemouth star Tyler Adams would be keen on a move to join Manchester United this summer, but a deal could cost up to £50m, according to Ben Jacobs.
The Cherries have battled hard all summer to keep hold of their top stars while adding Antonio Silva, Juanlu Sanchez, and Alvaro Rodriguez to the squad for new manager Marco Rose, but have faced strong interest in several of their stars, including Alex Scott, Eli Junior Kroupi, and Rayan.
Man Utd have been linked with several players this summer after prioritising a rebuild for new boss Michael Carrick, with the midfield understood to be at the top of their list. Youri Tielemans and Andrey Santos have already arrived, but the club wants another, which has seen them revisit their long-standing interest in Adams.
Adams Keen on Man Utd Move
Adams joined Bournemouth from Leeds United in 2023 on a five-year deal, and has been a regular under former boss Andoni Iraola, establishing himself as a top-level defensive midfielder.
He also shone at the World Cup for the USMNT under Mauricio Pochettino, and Man Utd are understood to haveconsidered a bid for the 27-year-old as they look to replace Casemiro and cover for Manuel Ugarte after he suffered a serious knee injury.
Reports had suggested that Adams could be available for as little as £35m, but GIVEMESPORT senior correspondent Jacobs, speaking on The United Stand, has revealed that while the player would be open to moving to Old Trafford, it would cost more than that to get a deal done.
“The player would be keen on a move to Manchester United, though, but my information is that although Adams is not unsellable, that number would probably be closer to the £50m mark rather than in and around the £35m, which has found its way out into the media," he said.
Adams has made 58 appearances over the last two seasons for Bournemouth, scoring twice, putting a history of injury issues behind him.

'Every Team Needs a Tyler Adams'
Tyler Adams
Adams has become a fan favourite during his time at Bournemouth for his combative style and leadership qualities, and he earned the praise of club legend and ambassador Steven Fletcher earlier this year, who stated that 'every team needs a Tyler Adams', and hailed him for his 'incredible' football brain.
“His knowledge is incredible. The way he speaks. He's meticulous. He thinks about what he says, and he's very good with words.
“And I just think he's fantastic. And like I said, He's not only a great ambassador for AFC Bournemouth, but I think for America as well, because the way he portrays himself is second to none.”
