AC Milan are watching Alex Scott, a 23-year-old English central midfielder from Bournemouth, but the Italian club acknowledges his asking price of significantly more than £75 million exceeds their financial capabilities. According to TEAMtalk, Real Madrid are also considering increasing their interest after having scouted Scott on a minimum of three occasions, which affects a situation already involving Chelsea and Liverpool. Bournemouth maintain that Scott will not be sold during the January transfer window and are trying to secure a new contract with him, with his current contract valid until 2028.
