Bournemouth is holding firm on Alex Scott, with the talented midfielder expected to stay until 2027, according to football insider Fabrizio Romano.
Despite persistent links to top clubs like Liverpool and Chelsea throughout the summer, Bournemouth has maintained its stance: Scott is not for sale this transfer window. Romano confirmed via X that the club considers Scott a pivotal player for their current project and has no intention of letting him go now.
The 23-year-old English midfielder has been a subject of much speculation, with reports from The Independent suggesting Liverpool might see him as an ideal target for his former manager Andoni Iraola, potentially at a steep price of £90 million. Meanwhile, Chelsea has also been mentioned as a suitor, viewing him as a possible replacement for Enzo Fernandez, according to The Sun.
Bournemouth, known for selling their star players on their own terms, like Antoine Semenyo's move to Manchester City and earlier transfers involving Dean Huijsen and Milos Kerkez, seems determined to keep Scott for at least the current season. This persistence has helped them retain key talent alongside Eli Junior Kroupi, even after manager Iraola's departure.
While the unpredictable nature of the transfer market can always bring late surprises, Bournemouth appears to be having a successful transfer window by keeping hold of their prized asset. The team, under new manager Marco Rose, showed promising signs in their opening Premier League match against Manchester City, despite the loss.
