Story summary

As of October 14, 2026, Bournemouth are now willing to consider selling Alex Scott, a 23-year-old central midfielder, for around £100m. The deal would only proceed if certain conditions are met and if Premier League survival seems likely by January. Both Liverpool and Chelsea could move for Scott in the January transfer window if they pursue their interest. This shift from Bournemouth's previous stance comes as Scott has expressed admiration for his manager, Andoni Iraola, who previously gave him significant playing time despite initial defensive challenges.
