Bournemouth to resist interest in Scott until the summer

Bournemouth is refusing to entertain any offers for midfielder Alex Scott during the January transfer window. The 23-year-old made his senior England debut in the recent Nations League match against Czechia. Bournemouth have had two contract renewal meetings with Scott rejected, which led him to push for a move away from the club. However, they stand firm that they will not engage in discussions about a transfer until their league targets have either been met or are no longer reachable.

Bournemouth is not the only club that has refused to entertain offers for key players. Striker Eli Junior Kroupi, who is currently sidelined due to injury, and winger Rayan are also not on the market. The club is involved in matches on multiple fronts this season, including their inaugural participation in the Europa League. Scott has been performing well on the south coast and shows no signs of dissatisfaction, but he is known to ultimately desire a transfer to one of England's premier clubs.

Chelsea, Arsenal, and Liverpool are among the Premier League clubs reportedly showing interest in Scott. Manchester City and Manchester United have boosted their midfield options during the summer and are not anticipated to rekindle their interest in Scott. Chelsea's previous £64m offer for Scott was rejected, and they missed out on Lamine Camara from Monaco on deadline day.

They have held talks about a move for Roma's Manu Kone and expressed interest in Fulham's Sander Berge. Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola has a positive rapport with his former player Scott, and the Reds remain interested in a midfielder for future transfer windows, retaining an interest in Camara.
