Alex Scott, a 23-year-old midfielder, is the target of Xabi Alonso to strengthen Chelsea in the next transfer market. The coach has pointed out the Bournemouth player as a candidate to fill the gap left by Enzo Fernández, who was transferred to Manchester City for €145 million, while Bournemouth demands a figure above £70 million to negotiate.

Alex Scott, Xabi Alonso's Priority for Chelsea

Chelsea's interest in Scott is not new. During the last transfer window, the London team even made a €75 million offer, but Bournemouth rejected it and maintained their stance of not selling the midfielder.

Scott's contractual situation partly explains Bournemouth's resistance. The player's contract runs until June 30, 2028, and he has already turned down several proposals to extend that bond, although the English club managed to keep him during the summer.

The scenario may change in the next window. According to information published by Teamtalk, Chelsea continues to consider Scott as their top choice for the midfield and is even looking to reach an agreement now to incorporate him next summer.

Pricing will be the main obstacle. Bournemouth turned down a £64 million proposal—around €74 million— and, as per summer market reports, they set their demands around £80 million.

Bournemouth Holds on as Scott's Value Rises

Scott goes into the international break after playing in the first three games of the 2026/27 Premier League as a starter. He has 265 minutes and one goal, scored against Everton in the second match.

His latest performance reinforced his importance. In the 2-2 draw against Newcastle, Scott played for 89 minutes and contributed to Bournemouth's game build-up, which led 2-0 before conceding two late goals.

The previous season also explains the interest from top clubs. Scott featured in 37 Premier League matches, with 3 goals and 1 assist, starting in most games against the main English teams.

Chelsea had previously competed for his signing alongside Arsenal and Manchester United, while Manchester City had also shown interest during the summer. However, with Enzo Fernández's arrival at City, the market scenario has changed, and Stamford Bridge's club once again needs a midfielder.

The 2027 market now emerges as the next negotiation point. Alex Scott is under contract with Bournemouth until 2028, but Chelsea is gearing up for a new offensive under Xabi Alonso and will have to surpass a valuation that already exceeded €70 million during the last summer.
