Liverpool and Chelsea target Alex Scott amid Real Madrid interest

Liverpool is eyeing a potential transfer for Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott, who has become a standout performer this season. Scott has started 2026/27 strongly, contributing a goal in his first five Premier League appearances. Liverpool opted against signing midfielders in the previous transfer window, leading to speculation that they may look to secure Scott as a replacement with James McConnell staying and Trey Nyoni expected to play more. Chelsea is also reportedly interested in Scott, while Real Madrid is tracking him for a midfield rebuild after observing his performance against Croatia in a recent UEFA Nations League match. Bournemouth is attempting to negotiate a new contract with Scott but may resist bids until the summer.
