Real Madrid has opted not to pursue a deal for Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott. This 23-year-old has exploded onto the scene as one of the most in-demand prospects in the English game.
The Spanish giants had been keeping a close eye on Scott's development, but Bournemouth's hefty asking price has put a halt to any potential negotiations.
Bournemouth are resolute in their stance: they will not let their star player leave for anything less than €100 million in the upcoming transfer window.
According to the Daily Mail, this eye-watering price tag has led the Real hierarchy to step back from any significant spending. Despite earlier links established during discussions over goalkeeper Dean Heisen, the Spaniards have now dropped out of the race.
The battle for Scott’s signature has shifted to the Premier League, with Liverpool and Chelsea emerging as the leading contenders for the midfielder in the winter window, under the management of Andoni Iraola and Mauricio Pochettino respectively.
