Alex Scott enjoyed an impressive 2025-26 campaign with Bournemouth as he established himself as a key player in their midfield.
The 22-year-old made 37 Premier League appearances during the season and started 34 of those matches.
He also scored three goals and provided one assist as Bournemouth enjoyed a historic campaign.
The Cherries finished sixth in the Premier League with 57 points and secured qualification for the Europa League. Meanwhile, Scott’s performances also earned him recognition at international level.
Thomas Tuchel handed him his first senior England call-up before the World Cup. Now, uncertainty has emerged over his future at Bournemouth.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Scott and his representatives have informed Bournemouth of their decision to reject a second proposal for a new contract.
His current deal runs until June 2028, meaning Bournemouth still have him under contract for another two years.
However, the Cherries are determined to secure his long-term future following his impressive development.
Bournemouth remain insistent on keeping the midfielder and are even prepared to include a release clause in a potential new contract. However, the two parties have not yet reached an agreement.
The situation has attracted attention from several leading Premier League clubs. Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea have all been linked with the midfielder following his impressive performances on the south coast.
So, his decision to reject a second contract proposal could now encourage interested Premier League clubs to keep a close eye on his situation before the transfer window closes.
