Bournemouth will consider Scott sale in January for over £80m
AFC Bournemouth’s midfield star Alex Scott is facing a potential January transfer window exit after the club indicated they may entertain blockbuster offers for his services. With his current contract expiring in over 18 months and his market value expected to decline further, sources suggest a bid in excess of £80 million—including add-ons—could prompt the Cherries to reconsider their stance.
Despite Scott’s reported reluctance to push for a move, his ambition and the club’s precarious Premier League position—currently without a win this season and suffering a 5-1 defeat to Chelsea—have opened the door to serious interest from top-flight suitors like Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester City, who had previously ruled him out. The 23-year-old’s injury woes, including a setback to a thigh tendon issue sustained while on international duty with England, have further complicated his immediate future at the club, though head coach Marco Rose has insisted Scott remains committed to Bournemouth for now.
The club’s transfer committee is reportedly preparing to engage with potential buyers in January, provided Bournemouth secure safety from relegation. While Rose dismissed transfer speculation ahead of the club’s Europa League clash against Sturm Graz, the growing chatter underscores Scott’s pivotal role in the club’s midfield—and the financial reality that could force a sale despite his personal ties to the south coast side.
