Bournemouth and England midfielder Alex Scott continues to be mentioned as a transfer target for Liverpool, but his price tag may reportedly be set to rise. Scott won’t arrive on the cheap, however, with some reports saying he will cost £100m, but it looks as though the Reds have to spend even more than that.

That’s according to journalist Pete O’Rourke, who told Football Insider that the Englishman may now be even more expensive, meaning Liverpool could have four £100m+ players in their ranks: “Interest is always going to remain in someone like Alex Scott, and probably his stock is even higher right now following his recent displays for England against Croatia. “It’s a difficult deal to do in January because of the price tag, and it’s probably more likely to go up, and next summer will be the time maybe for Scott’s suitors to make a move for him, especially if he doesn’t sign a new contract with his current deal at Bournemouth running until 2028.” Is Alex Scott becoming overpriced for Liverpool?

He is so smooth on the ball, his decision making is at the highest level. He gave us a lot of mobility and a lot of variety and work rate in the centre of the pitch.” To spend over £100m on Scott does feel over the top for Liverpool, though, with the Englishman not yet an elite midfielder, for whom such an amount should be splashed on.
