Bournemouth are preparing to make a new contract offer to midfielder Alex Scott after he rejected an earlier proposal that would have made him the highest-paid player in the club's history. The new offer is reportedly sanctioned by owner Bill Foley and is described as a second club record contract. Liverpool are understood to be interested in Scott.
Bournemouth head coach Marco Rose has asked that key players not be sold in the January window, indicating the club's determination to protect its progress. Rose has acknowledged the challenge of competing with bigger clubs, noting that younger players may be tempted by opportunities elsewhere.
Liverpool's interest in Scott is reportedly driven by head coach Andoni Iraola, who rates Scott highly from their time together at Bournemouth. A new contract at Bournemouth would complicate a potential Liverpool move, making it a steeper climb in terms of the required fee and the club's willingness to sell.

Source context
Bournemouth are preparing to go back to Alex Scott with an improved contract offer after the midfielder turned down an earlier proposal that would have made him the best paid player in the club’s history. It is a situation worth watching closely, not least because Liverpool are understood to be keen admirers of the 23-year-old. According to TeamTalk, owner Bill Foley has sanctioned a second club record contract offer for Scott, underlining how determined Bournemouth are to keep hold of one of their most important players. Head coach Marco Rose has reportedly asked that none of his key names be sold in the January window, which only adds to the sense that this is a club trying to protect its progress rather than cash in.
