Chelsea could seal Alex Scott deal at '£20m' reduction after Bournemouth latest
Summarised by MatchPal
Chelsea rejected a £60m Bournemouth bid last summer but could negotiate a reduced fee next year as Scott recovers from a quadriceps injury.
Chelsea are monitoring Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott ahead of a potential summer move, according to former Everton CEO Keith Wyness. The Blues had a £60m bid rejected in summer 2024, with Bournemouth holding out for £80m, but Scott's recent quadriceps injury could lower his valuation. Wyness believes the 23-year-old's injury setback rules out a winter move and may allow Chelsea to negotiate a deal at a reduced price next summer, potentially saving up to £20m on their original offer.
