Real Madrid join Chelsea in race for Premier League star described as a 'complete package'

Chelsea lead the pursuit after Bournemouth rejected bids above £60 million, and Scott’s England debut has pushed his valuation higher.

  • Real Madrid has joined Arsenal and Chelsea in the race to sign Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott, according to reports. The Spanish giants have scouted the 23-year-old several times in recent weeks.
  • Chelsea remains at the front of the queue for Scott after Bournemouth rejected a bid worth more than £60million during the summer. The Blues continue exploring ways to secure the midfielder under manager Xabi Alonso.
  • England head coach Thomas Tuchel labeled Scott "the complete package" following his outstanding performance against Croatia on Saturday. The 23-year-old made his senior international debut in a 7-0 Nations League win.
  • Manchester United, Liverpool, and Arsenal are also monitoring the situation, though prising Scott away from the Vitality Stadium will likely require a bid exceeding £80m. Competition for the midfielder intensifies.
  • Scott's stock has climbed further following his international breakthrough, with Bournemouth showing no desire to sell in January. His versatility across midfield roles makes him a primary target for Europe's elite clubs.
