Bournemouth offers Alex Scott new deal amid Chelsea and Liverpool interest

Bournemouth is making a renewed effort to secure Alex Scott's future, with owner Bill Foley authorizing a second record contract offer for the midfielder. Scott, currently sidelined with a thigh injury and under contract until 2028, has rejected an initial deal that would have made him the highest-paid player in club history. Chelsea and Liverpool maintain interest in Scott, with Chelsea reportedly preparing a bid before January. Bournemouth has stated they do not want to sell, but a departure may be considered if offers exceed £100 million. This situation continues to develop as rival clubs remain vigilant.
