Bournemouth’s management has made a decision regarding midfielder Alex Scott’s potential transfer to Chelsea.
“Operative Information Center-OMM”, citing foreign media, reports that the club is determined to keep the 23-year-old player at least until the end of the season.
Despite Chelsea’s strong interest, a January transfer for Scott is considered highly unlikely.
Scott’s transfer value
A sale next summer has not been ruled out. Bournemouth internally values Scott at 110 million euros.
Scott has made six appearances in all competitions this season. He has scored one goal and provided two assists in those matches.
Scott’s situation reflects the importance of retaining key midfield players during the competitive mid-season period. Bournemouth’s decision also means that any potential negotiations with Chelsea are more likely to take place during the summer transfer window, when clubs traditionally have more time to plan squad changes.
