Bournemouth owner hopes Alex Scott will sign new deal, admits fear of ‘Chelsea or Manchester City’

Bournemouth owner Bill Foley revealed he hopes midfielder Alex Scott will sign a new contract extension despite interest from elite clubs. Speaking to TalkSport, Foley expressed confidence that Bournemouth remains the right environment for the 23-year-old England international, while acknowledging that clubs such as Chelsea or Manchester City could attract him. Scott is under contract until 2028, but reports indicate he currently has no plans to extend.

Bournemouth previously rejected an offer from Chelsea for Scott during the summer, with Liverpool and Arsenal also reportedly monitoring his situation. Scott, who signed from Bristol City in 2023 for around £20million, recently earned his first senior England start before suffering a quad injury.
