The Premier League summer transfer window has just been kicked into overdrive. AFC Bournemouth’s crown jewel, Alex Scott, has reportedly turned down a heavily enhanced contract extension proposal at the Vitality Stadium.
Fresh off a historic campaign where the 22-year-old maestro started 37 out of 38 league matches to guide the Cherries into the Europa League, the news has put the top flight’s absolute heavyweights on red alert.
Reports indicate Bournemouth have slapped a massive £80 million price tag on Scott to ward off potential buyers while insiders suggest that an offer starting at £60 million could be enough to force the Cherries to the negotiating table if the player pushes for the exit door.
Manchester United and Arsenal are public admirers of the midfielder.
