Liverpool has also expressed interest in Scott, as manager Andoni Iraola is familiar with the player from his time at Bournemouth. Reports suggest Liverpool is well-positioned to pursue Scott due to ongoing contract negotiations at Bournemouth, which have stalled. The club is not open to offers for Scott during the January transfer window, aiming to retain him until summer.
Real Madrid has also identified Scott as a potential target for future transfer windows. Recent reports note that Chelsea previously made a £64 million offer for Scott, who might command a fee of £80 million or more should he transfer.
Despite the intense interest from multiple clubs, Bournemouth currently remains firm in its stance of not negotiating any deals for Scott at this time.
