  "account": "Manchester United, the English football powerhouse, are reportedly keeping a keen eye on Atletico Madrid's young Argentine forward, Giuliano Simeone, according to Spanish sports outlet Mundo Deportivo. The 23-year-old has the potential to significantly bolster United's attacking options, should the Red Devils decide to pursue him.\n\nMeanwhile, Chelsea are reportedly prepared to meet Bournemouth's valuation for midfielder Alex Scott, who is 23 years old. The London club is willing to meet the Cherries' asking price, although they are keeping their fingers crossed that Scott might extend his current contract with the south coast side.\n\nInter Milan's young Serbian midfielder, Aleksandar Stankovic, 21, is also attracting considerable interest from various Premier League outfits. A host of clubs are keen on signing the talented youngster, who could find himself in a new red kit come January.\n\nChelsea's pursuit of Barcelona's Frenkie de Jong, a 29-year-old Dutch midfielder, is a separate matter. The Blues need to pay a minimum of £50 million to secure the Dutch wonderkid, who is currently a Barcelona star. However, the transfer is not guaranteed, as it heavily depends on the price Barcelona are willing to negotiate.",
