Liverpool and Chelsea trade targets after Reds back down on £100m demands
Bournemouth would consider a sale only for a fee above £100 million as Liverpool and Chelsea weigh January bids for the England midfielder.

- Bournemouth have changed their stance and are now open to selling Scott in January if an offer exceeds £100m, seeking a bidding war to maximize profit on their midfielder.
- Chelsea remain alert after Enzo Fernandez's £125m sale to Manchester City, while Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola hopes to leverage his "amazing" relationship with Scott to secure a reunion.
- Julian Ward, head of Liverpool's transfer committee, has identified Manu Kone and Lamine Camara as potential alternatives should a deal for Scott fail to materialize.
- Bournemouth will only sanction a January departure if Premier League survival appears likely, with the team currently 18th in the table under head coach Marco Rose.
