Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott has reportedly turned down a new contract offer from the club, despite having two years left on his existing deal. The offer was made in March, but Scott has opted not to extend his stay with the Cherries.
Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester United are understood to be monitoring the 22-year-old's situation. However, Bournemouth's current stance is that Scott is not for sale this summer, regardless of his contract status. The club has not set a price or valuation for the player, indicating they do not consider him available for transfer.
New Bournemouth manager Marco Rose recently expressed confidence that Scott and Junior Kroupi would remain with the club for their upcoming Europa League campaign. The club's policy this summer is to retain their key players to compete in Europe, with Scott, Kroupi, and winger Rayan reportedly part of those plans. Nevertheless, significant offers could potentially test Bournemouth's resolve.
Scott was a crucial player for Bournemouth last season, featuring in 39 matches and helping the team secure European football for the first time in their history. His performances have also drawn attention at the international level; he received his first senior call-up from then-manager Thomas Tuchel in November and was part of the England squad that traveled to the United States for pre-World Cup preparations.
The summer transfer window remains open until September 1, and is expected to be a busy period for clubs looking to strengthen their squads ahead of the new season.
