Bournemouth are gearing up for a serious tussle over Alex Scott. The 23-year-old midfielder is attracting interest from Chelsea and Real Madrid, with Liverpool also having previously monitored the situation.
Scott remains a key player for Bournemouth, who qualified for European competitions for the first time in their history last season.
This summer, the club rejected multiple offers for the midfielder. Chelsea have been heavily linked with a potential transfer, while Andoni Iraola has hinted he would love to work with Scott again if he were at Liverpool.
The England international’s contract with Bournemouth runs until 2028, but discussions over an extension have yet to commence.
The club’s main goal is to keep Scott and persuade him to be part of their long-term project.
However, Bournemouth are not looking to drag the situation out indefinitely. If the player shows no willingness to extend his contract by early 2027, the club will have to consider more serious options regarding a sale.
Amidst this backdrop, Real Madrid are preparing to join the fray. Reports suggest that the Spanish giants could pose a significant challenge to Chelsea, with potential transfer fees reaching around £70 million.
As it stands, there are no concrete negotiations for the transfer. Yet, the absence of a new contract combined with interest from several top clubs makes Scott’s future a hot topic ahead of the upcoming transfer windows.
