Transfer: Chelsea Suffer Alex Scott Blow

Bournemouth say the 22-year-old is not for sale and are backing him to stay after he rejected a new contract offer.

  • Bournemouth rejected Chelsea's £64 million bid for midfielder Alex Scott, maintaining that the 22-year-old is not for sale this summer despite substantial Premier League interest.
  • To build a competitive squad for new head coach Marco Rose, Bournemouth declared Scott, Junior Kroupi, and Rayan unavailable for transfer, signaling the club's resolve to retain key assets.
  • With two years remaining on his current deal, Scott turned down a new contract offer; Bournemouth previously snubbed an inquiry from Arsenal for the England Under-21 international.
  • Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso described Scott as "amazing," as quoted by BBC Sport, viewing him as a potential upgrade on Alexis Mac Allister after the Argentine's dipped form.
  • Manchester United, Manchester City, and Tottenham have also expressed interest in Scott, though Bournemouth remains confident the midfielder will remain in Dorset for the upcoming campaign.
