Alex Scott Rejects Bournemouth Contract; Top Clubs Eye
Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott has rejected Bournemouth’s latest contract offers amid rising interest from several top Premier League clubs. The 22-year-old, who joined from Bristol City for about £25 million in 2023 and has two years left, is valued by Bournemouth at roughly £65-80 million and could be open to a release clause in a new deal. Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea, and other majors such as Manchester City, Liverpool, and Newcastle have been repeatedly linked, with United and Arsenal among those reported to have held talks. Scott has been involved with England squads, travelling with the national team for World Cup preparations but has yet to make a senior appearance. Despite ongoing interest, Bournemouth remain intent on retaining him and are not openly shopping him, though a big-money exit could become possible if terms diverge. Reports from various outlets confirm Scott’s rejection of offers and the sustained speculation over his future, with transfer discussions expected to continue into the window.
