Chelsea is keeping Alex Scott, a 23-year-old midfielder from Bournemouth, as one of its main targets to reinforce the squad in the upcoming transfer windows. The London club is considering adding up to two midfielders between January and the summer of 2027, after submitting several offers for the English international that reached approximately 68 million pounds during the last transfer window, as reported by Transfer News Live.

The interest persists despite Bournemouth's rejections. In fact, the latest information indicates that the English club would be willing to reconsider its stance with an economic proposal that meets its requirements, although competition from other Premier League clubs could complicate the operation.

Chelsea Already Offered Up to 68 Million for Alex Scott

Chelsea tried to sign Alex Scott last summer but faced rejection from Bournemouth. The London club made several offers ranging between 62 and 68 million pounds but failed to convince the club's decision-makers.

Bournemouth's stance was due to the midfielder's increasing importance in the team. Scott joined from Bristol City in 2023 for around 25 million pounds and gradually became one of the most utilized players in the team's setup.

However, his contractual situation poses a challenge for the club. The English international is under contract until June 2028 and has turned down various renewal offers, raising the likelihood that his future will be revisited in January.

As reported by Sky Sports this week, Bournemouth is willing to consider offers exceeding 80 million pounds. Other English media outlets increase their demands to 100 million pounds, amounts that significantly surpass Chelsea's previous offers.

Chelsea Considering Signing Two Midfielders

Signing Scott might only be part of Chelsea's sports planning. The club officials are evaluating the possibility of making two midfield signings in the next two transfer windows.

The departure of Enzo Fernández to Manchester City during the summer has altered the squad composition. While Moisés Caicedo remains an integral piece, coach Xabi Alonso needs alternatives for various competitions.

In this context, Scott brings a blend of ball recovery ability, forward driving, and participation in offensive play. His Premier League experience would also ease the adaptation period to the competition.

Furthermore, the midfielder has made strides in his international career this month, debuting as a starter with England in the 7-0 victory against Croatia.

Liverpool Also Tracking Bournemouth's Midfielder

Chelsea is not the only interested team; Liverpool is also monitoring the player's contractual situation, while Arsenal, Manchester United, Manchester City, and Tottenham had shown interest during the summer.

For now, Bournemouth holds a favorable negotiating position thanks to the midfielder's contract until 2028, although challenges in securing his renewal could influence upcoming discussions.

The next significant moment will come in January 2027 when the market reopens. Chelsea will have to decide whether to submit another offer for Scott and the amount it is willing to go up to, while Bournemouth must consider whether to accept an immediate sale or keep the player until the summer.
