Liverpool and Chelsea are both reportedly interested in Premier League star Alex Scott, with Liverpool exploring a potential move while Chelsea remains a target. Liverpool's interest in Scott has involved contact with people close to the Bournemouth midfielder, but the club did not submit a bid during the summer transfer window, according to transfer reporter Fabrizio Romano.

Romano described Scott as a player who attracted attention from several leading clubs, including Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool, without Bournemouth being willing to negotiate his departure. The Bournemouth midfielder has been discussed and monitored by Liverpool, but there is no suggestion of an agreement being close or a formal offer being prepared.

Chelsea, meanwhile, have maintained interest in Scott, valuing his quality and homegrown status. Liverpool's contact with Scott's representatives is noted, but there remains a considerable distance between gathering information and securing a signing. Bournemouth's resistance to selling Scott is the main obstacle in the transfer prospects.

The club prefers to see him complete the current season before considering any departure. For Liverpool, any opportunity to sign Scott will likely depend on Bournemouth's willingness to engage, as other clubs could already have substantial groundwork in place if they eventually become receptive. Chelsea's continued attention suggests Scott's future will remain a transfer story, but there is no confirmed player preference or agreement between clubs.

Liverpool's next step remains unclear, with any decision to advance requiring a judgement about Scott's proposed role, available resources and other options being considered.
