October 14, (THEWILL) – Premier League side, Bournemouth, have set a £100m price tag on in-demand midfielder, Alex Scott, while opening the door for a January move.
The Cherries turned down approaches from the likes of Manchester City, Liverpool in the summer, and also rejected two offers from Chelsea for the England midfielder.
However, Bournemouth are now open to sanctioning a January transfer exit if their offer of £100m is met.
The club also set another condition in their discussion with his representatives.
If they are struggling towards the bottom of the league, then the club may decide they need Scott to help secure survival.
According to transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, Bournemouth have changed their stance following a meeting with Scott’s agents.
He wrote on X: “Alex Scott could leave Bournemouth in January in case of a big proposal.
“The stance has changed after meeting with agents, as Bournemouth rejected all the proposals in the summer.
“Chelsea are still involved. Liverpool were keen also in July. Price tag expected to be over £100m, as BBC reports.”
Scott’s contract at the Vitality Stadium is expected to run out in 2028, and he has refused to sign a new contract.
Chelsea and Liverpool still retain interest in him, and they will be willing to break the bank to sign him in January.
