Bournemouth Could Consider £100m Alex Scott Sale

AFC Bournemouth could consider selling midfielder Alex Scott in January for about £100 million or more, but any departure would depend on the club’s league position and the offer it receives, according to reports citing BBC Sport. The reported shift follows further talks between Bournemouth officials and Scott’s representatives. The club had previously maintained that the 23-year-old was not for sale. The reports describe a conditional willingness to listen to a substantial offer, not an agreed transfer or a confirmed January bid. Chelsea and Liverpool are among the clubs reported to be monitoring Scott. Chelsea had a summer bid rejected, with reports putting the offer at £60 million, potentially rising to £64 million with add-ons, or describing it as £64 million. Neither club is reported to have made a January offer. Bournemouth’s willingness to sell is said to depend in part on its position in the Premier League. The club could be reluctant to let Scott leave if it is close to the relegation zone or does not feel secure in the division. The reported fee threshold is around or above £100 million, though no final asking price has been confirmed by the club.
