British midfielder AlexScott, 23, a starter for Bournemouth, has put his name on the radar of the big clubs in the Premier League, with Chelsea and Liverpool showing particular interest in signing him before the end of the winter market.
Bournemouth have made it clear that their player wants to leave the Vitality Stadium in January, and the British press indicates that the price demanded by the club is around 120 million euros. This figure places him in the same category of the most expensive signings that have been recorded in the Premier League during the summer, where teams such as Manchester City, Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham have paid between 135 and 145 million euros for high-profile players.
Chelsea has already tried to sign Scott on three occasions, offering 80 million euros, but the London club rejected the proposal. Scott's response to the rejection was clear: he expressed his desire to leave Bournemouth and seek an opportunity in the Premier League. Liverpool, for their part, have also shown interest, although the club has stressed that the price demanded could exceed their spending limit under financial fair play, especially after the recent purchase of Bradley Barcola for 125 million euros.
Scott's potential transfer would not only involve a significant outlay, but would also require Bournemouth to secure a high-value sale to balance the club's balance sheet. Without a big-money exit, Liverpool could find it difficult to compete with Chelsea for the midfielder, although Scott's pressure on his own club and his desire to advance his career could accelerate a decision.
In short, AlexScott is in the crosshairs of two of the most ambitious teams in the Premier League, and next month will be decisive in determining whether his future develops at Chelsea, Liverpool or if he remains at Bournemouth until the close of the transfer window.
