Chelsea is preparing a formal offer close to 70 million pounds to sign Alex Scott, the midfielder from Bournemouth, in this summer transfer window. The English midfielder is one of Xabi Alonso's new desires.

The Stamford Bridge entity is seeking to finalize the addition of the midfielder after the rejection of an initial offer of 64 million pounds, although their rivals' board demands 80 million pounds and is trying to negotiate his contract renewal beyond 2028.

The Chelsea Offensive for Alex Scott

As reported by CaughtOffside, Chelsea's sports management aims to accelerate negotiations at the request of coach Xabi Alonso, who requires a midfielder to strengthen the core. However, the 10 million pound gap with Bournemouth's demands opens the door to Liverpool, whose coach Andoni Iraola is familiar with the player from his previous time on the bench at the red-and-black club.

Despite being the second-highest-spending club this summer after closing deals such as Maxence Lacroix, the London team needs to increase its proposal to prevent losing the midfielder. Bournemouth's board remains financially firm based on the player's contract validity, setting the exit price at 80 million pounds.

Parallel Talks with Crystal Palace for Adam Wharton

Journalist Sébastien Vidal revealed that Chelsea has reactivated contacts with Crystal Palace to inquire about the conditions for 22-year-old midfielder Adam Wharton. The English international remains a top alternative on Xabi Alonso's agenda if negotiations with Scott's camp do not progress.

Crystal Palace has priced the transfer of the 22-year-old midfielder at 100 million euros. The Stamford Bridge leadership must finalize player departures to reduce the wage bill and the number of players before submitting a written proposal that meets the financial demands of the South London club.

Chelsea's executives will hold crucial meetings with Bournemouth's board during the first week of August 2026. Chelsea's goal is to determine if the 70 million pounds are enough to unlock the operation for Alex Scott or if the club will initiate a formal offensive of 100 million euros for Adam Wharton before Liverpool enters the bidding.
