Why Bournemouth could cash in on £100million Chelsea target Alex Scott in January window

Bournemouth are prepared to demand a permanent transfer fee exceeding £100 million for midfielder Alex Scott during the January transfer window. Chelsea remain firmly interested after seeing three summer bids of up to £68 million rejected, while Liverpool and several other top European clubs also monitor the 23-year-old England international. Scott has reportedly pushed to leave after rejecting two contract extension offers at the end of last season.

Following recent discussions with the player's representatives, Bournemouth are understood to be open to a sale if their valuation is met. However, the club's league position will factor into any final decision. Scott, who has 20 months remaining on his current deal, is currently sidelined for at least a month due to a thigh injury sustained during international duty with England.
