Liverpool are reportedly among the clubs eyeing a potential summer move for Alex Scott<\/a>, but they\u2019ll likely need to stump up a seismic sum of money if they\u2019re to land him from Bournemouth.<\/p>\n

The Reds\u2019 head coach Andoni Iraola and sporting director Richard Hughes both came to Anfield from the south coast, but if the 22-year-old is to follow suit, it\u2019d probably require a club-record sale from the Cherries to make it happen.<\/p>\n

Transfer reporter Alex Crook told talkSPORT<\/a> on Sunday that \u2018noise seems to be growing\u2019 around a poetntial move to the northwest for the midfielder, adding that it\u2019s \u2018certainly one to watch\u2019 in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

However, an update from\u00a0Ben Jacobs on X<\/a> on Tuesday lunchtime hinted that Liverpool will need to dig deep in order to convince Bournemouth to sign Scott, amid efforts at the Vitality Stadium to tie him down to a new contract.<\/p>\n

Bournemouth want \u00a380m for Liverpool target Scott<\/p>\n

The reporter posted: \u2018Understand Bournemouth value Alex Scott at around \u00a380m and plan to offer the midfielder a new deal. Yet Liverpool and Manchester United have Scott on their radar. Spurs also hold appreciation. <\/p>\n

\u2018Bournemouth owner Bill Foley is intent on keeping Scott with hope he\u2019ll sign a new contract, likely with a release clause. This was the case when Antoine Semenyo extended last summer.\u2019<\/p>\n

Are Liverpool likely to pay \u00a380m for Scott?<\/p>\n

The \u00a380m figure cited by Jacobs is a significant increase on the \u00a360m that TEAMtalk<\/a> reports mentioned last week, and it\u2019s natural that the Cherries are determined to fight tooth and nail to keep hold of the midfielder.<\/p>\n

Iraola lauded an \u2018amazing<\/a>\u2018 performance from Scott when Bournemouth won at Arsenal in April, while Pep Guardiola labelled him an \u2018unbelievable player<\/a>\u2018 dating back to when he played for Bristol City against Manchester City in the FA Cup in 2023.<\/p>\n

To have coaches of that calibre praising the 22-year-old so effusively speaks volumes for his talent, and he stood out as one of the best midfielders in the 2025\/26 Premier League for his dribbling and ball-winning attributes in the middle of the park.<\/p>\n

However, whether Liverpool will deem him worthy of an \u00a380m outlay is another matter, and even if the Reds were to compile an offer for that amount, it\u2019s possible that it might be too late if the Cherries have already tied him down to a bumper new contract.<\/p>\n

Bournemouth have seeminlgly set their stall out when it comes to Scott \u2013 now it\u2019s over to Hughes to decide whether a move for the Guernsey native is worth pursuing, or if better value can be found for positional alternatives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Liverpool are reportedly among the clubs eyeing a potential summer move for Alex Scott, but they\u2019ll likely need…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":491005,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-491004","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/491004","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=491004"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/491004\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/491005"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=491004"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=491004"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=491004"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
