Bournemouth could consider offers for midfielder Alex Scott during the January transfer window, with the Premier League club reportedly placing a valuation of more than £100 million on the England international.
According to reports, Bournemouth rejected approaches for the midfielder during the summer transfer window, despite interest from several top English clubs, including Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool.
Chelsea were reportedly among the leading admirers of Scott, whose performances have attracted attention from clubs seeking to strengthen their midfield options.
However, Bournemouth’s position could change ahead of the January window, with the club reportedly prepared to consider a sale if a suitable offer is submitted.
Discussions between the Bournemouth hierarchy and Scott’s representatives are also said to have taken place in recent weeks.
A fee exceeding £100 million would represent a significant investment for any potential suitor and could make negotiations difficult, particularly during the mid-season transfer window.
Scott has established himself as an important member of Bournemouth’s squad, and any departure would require the club to consider how best to maintain its midfield strength for the remainder of the campaign.
Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool could face competition from other interested clubs if Bournemouth formally opens the door to a transfer.
