Overview
- Reports on Saturday, October 10, 2026, identified Liverpool as a leading contender to sign Alex Scott, citing a former scout's view that the club could bid in January or next summer.
- Scott is currently injured after England duty which reduces his immediate availability and makes any mid-season move dependent on his recovery.
- Bournemouth hold contractual leverage with two years left on Scott's deal but face growing pressure to sell if he refuses an extension next year.
- Chelsea had a reported £64 million offer rejected in the summer, showing high interest from multiple big clubs and keeping the transfer market competitive for Scott.
- A reunion with Iraola at Liverpool would appeal to Scott because the manager oversaw his development after Bournemouth signed him from Bristol City in 2023, and any move could shift squad depth and transfer spending across the Premier League.
