Bournemouth has drawn a line in the sand over Alex Scott. The club has offered the midfielder a new contract and made clear he will not be sold this summer, regardless of who comes calling.
Given that the queue of admirers reportedly includes Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United, and Tottenham Hotspur, that is a fairly significant line to draw.
What Bournemouth is protecting
Scott arrived at Bournemouth from Bristol City in August 2023 for £25 million. The club placed him on a five-year deal running until 2028, with an option to extend.
Two years later, Bournemouth’s internal valuation of the 22-year-old sits at around £80 million. In English: a player they bought for £25 million is now worth more than three times that, and they have no intention of cashing out.
