Bournemouth confident of keeping Alex Scott after £64m Chelsea bid rejected
Bournemouth are confident of keeping Alex Scott after rejecting a £64m offer from Chelsea earlier in the summer, with no fresh contact as of Wednesday morning.
Bournemouth remain confident of keeping Alex Scott after rejecting a £64m bid from Chelsea earlier in the summer. As of Wednesday morning there had been no fresh contact from Chelsea over the player’s future.
This one comes via Ben Jacobs. He reports that Bournemouth have maintained throughout the summer that Scott is not for sale, a position that underpins the club’s stance as the window moves into its latter stages.
A rejected bid confirms that any pursuit would require Chelsea to return with improved terms if they want to reopen the conversation. The absence of renewed contact by Wednesday morning indicates the situation has not moved in recent days, although that could change quickly should priorities shift.
The report adds that Chelsea intend to add another player if Enzo Fernández is sold, suggesting their recruitment plans could hinge on an outgoing in midfield. That caveat offers a possible explanation for the lack of fresh dialogue on Scott despite the earlier offer.
No further details were given on contract terms, add‑ons or alternative options under consideration.
