Chelsea’s pursuit of Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott is facing a setback after Bournemouth reject a reported offer in the region of £64m. Multiple reports state that Chelsea made an approach for the 22-year-old midfielder, but Bournemouth turn it down and indicate that any further negotiations would require a higher fee. According to coverage cited by outlets, Bournemouth are demanding around £80m, suggesting the £64m bid falls below their valuation. One report also frames the rejected approach as being worth more than £60m. The interest is not limited to Chelsea: Alex Scott is also linked with rival Premier League clubs, including Manchester United and Arsenal, according to one source. The reports agree that Scott is in the final two years of his contract with Bournemouth, which forms part of the transfer context as clubs weigh potential costs against his remaining time on his deal. Overall, the situation centers on a gap between Chelsea’s offer and Bournemouth’s asking price, with no agreement reached on terms.
