Chelsea are aiming to secure the services of Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott during the upcoming January transfer window. The Blues are optimistic about finalising a deal that could be worth upwards of £100 million.
The Londoners are set to revisit their interest in the 23-year-old after failed attempts to negotiate his transfer over the summer. Previously, Chelsea offered a sum that could have risen to £64 million with add-ons, but Bournemouth were unwilling to let the player go.
Now, Chelsea are prepared to put forward a significantly larger offer. However, the final decision will hinge on Bournemouth's stance and their willingness to part ways with Scott mid-season.
The prospect of playing alongside Cole Palmer and Morgan Rogers at Stamford Bridge is likely to be a huge draw for Scott. Additionally, the chance to work under the management of Xabi Alonso is seen as another potential incentive for the talented midfielder.
Bournemouth are reportedly open to the idea of selling Scott in January, provided they receive an offer close to £100 million. Another crucial factor will be the team's position in the league table and their confidence in remaining in the Premier League.
