Liverpool targeting Alex Scott amid midfielder contract controversies

Liverpool is reportedly pursuing Alex Scott from Bournemouth as they plan to invest another £80 million in their midfield. This comes after significant contract renewals for Ryan Gravenberch and Dominik Szoboszlai, which raised questions about their on-field compatibility with existing players like Alexis Mac Allister. Scott, entering the final 18 months of his contract, is viewed as a potential solution for Liverpool's midfield depth, though concerns about redundancy with recent acquisitions remain. The club's need for a controlling midfielder is evident as they look to reshape their midfield strategy.
