Scott, 19, starred in the Championship for City last season but shot into the limelight after a bright display against Manchester City in the fifth round of the FA Cup.
These performances saw the midfielder – who has been likened to City and England star Jack Grealish – tipped for a move to Premier League.
SunSport revealed how Tottenham were interested in a move for the teenager in March.
While Julen Lopetegui‘s Wolves also submitted multiple bids to try and land Scott.
But, according to The Telegraph, they are set to be left frustrated by their No1 target after seeing two bids turned down by the Robins, who stuck firmly to their £25m asking price.
Scott’s stock was also picked up in Europe, with Inter Milan reportedly interested in signing Scott.
Regardless, the England Under-20 star now looks destined to join the Cherries ahead of the upcoming season.
It has been a busy summer for the Andoni Iraola’s south Coast outfit.
