Chelsea remain determined to secure Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott after the club rejected a £64 million bid.
The 22‑year‑old has proven his value by helping his side qualify for European competition last season and brings Premier League experience to Xabi Alonso’s midfield plans.
Bournemouth is reluctant to part with Scott, valuing him at around £80 million and hoping to keep the player amid interest from several top English clubs.
Despite the initial rejection, Chelsea is reportedly preparing a revised offer that could include performance‑based add‑ons rather than immediately meeting the full asking price.
Scott has earned praise from elite managers, underscoring his potential and the club’s willingness to invest in a young, technically secure talent capable of multiple midfield roles.
No agreement has been reached yet, but negotiations continue as both sides weigh the benefits of a long‑term partnership versus a substantial financial commitment.
