Bournemouth have reevaluated their rigid stance regarding a potential winter transfer for midfielder Alex Scott. According to a reliable report from Sky Sports, following further talks with the player, the club has decided to soften their financial demands, opening the door for a possible move as early as January.
Scott, who is representing the England national team, has no intention of artificially hastening his departure or staging public protests. However, the midfielder is firmly resolved not to sign a new contract with his current side, citing an ambitious desire to continue his career with one of the top clubs. With his current deal set to expire in just over 18 months, the club is compelled to act swiftly to avoid losing the player for free.
Previously, Bournemouth had set a strict asking price of £100 million, but they are now willing to consider offers exceeding £80 million. This reduction in price has immediately reignited interest from both Chelsea and Liverpool, who continue to closely monitor the situation surrounding the talented midfielder.
It’s worth mentioning that last summer, Scott also attracted interest from Manchester United, Manchester City, and Tottenham. However, at that time, the club categorically refused to sell their star player, declaring him untouchable. As a result, those clubs had to pivot in the market and sign other central midfielders.
