AC Milan is considering English midfielder Alex Scott as a potential replacement for Real Madrid star Luka Modric, as per a recent report. Modric, who is 41 years old, is nearing the end of his career and is set to leave the club at the end of the current season. Real Madrid, who failed to sign Rodri in the summer, recognize the need to bolster their midfield and have scouted Scott throughout the Premier League season.
AC Milan, along with Chelsea and Liverpool, have also shown interest in the 23-year-old England international. Scott's value is estimated at around €50 million by his current club, Bournemouth, which could pose a challenge for AC Milan. However, the report suggests that Real Madrid's financial situation is not a limiting factor in pursuing Scott.
The situation remains fluid, but for now, Real Madrid's focus is primarily on monitoring Scott's progress and compiling reports on him.
