Fifteen million apart
85 million euros. Knocked back.
Chelsea have tabled a fresh bid for Alex Scott. Bournemouth said no. According to the BBC, the Cherries now want 100 million to let their midfielder go.
Fifteen million separates the two clubs. Late in the window, that is not much. And sometimes it is a gulf nobody crosses.
Try it for $0.99.
Chelsea are not backing off
The Blues have tracked the player for several weeks. He has climbed their internal list and now sits among their top targets. Another London push is already being lined up.
Scott is 23. His Bournemouth contract runs until June 2028. The Cherries are under no pressure, so they can wait. They can say no again.
Xabi Alonso wants creativity and bite in midfield. Scott fits the brief.
The price of an English midfielder
One hundred million euros for a 23-year-old midfielder. In most of Europe, that would raise eyebrows. In the Premier League, it barely registers.
Bournemouth have built their stance on exactly that. The club has no reason to sell cheap a player it controls for another two seasons.
Chelsea still have a bit of time. Not much, though.
