Bournemouth offer release clause in bid to keep Alex Scott, amid Liverpool and Spurs pursuit | OneFootball

Bournemouth are willing to include a release clause in the new contract proposal submitted to Alex Scott.

Scott is subject of interest fromPremier League rivals after an impressive campaign on the south coast.

The 22-year-old was nominated for thePremier League Young Player of the Season award, and could make his England debut in Wednesday's friendly with Costa Rica.

Scott has been invited to join the pre-World Cup training camp by England manager Thomas Tuchel, despite missing out on the final tournament squad.

Liverpool have been linked with a move to sign Scott, following the appointment of former Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola. Scott's childhood side, Tottenham Hotspur, and Manchester United have also monitored his progress this season.

However, Bournemouth are determined to keep hold of the midfielder - for now. The Cherries are preparing a new contract for Scott to recognise his development and are prepared to include a release clause in the arrangement.

Bournemouth hope release clause can persuade Scott stay

Fabrizio Romano has reported that stance, in a move that replicates past contracts for Dean Huijsen and Rayan. Bournemouth hope the prospect of a future sale, for an agreed fee, can continue to attract emerging talent to the Vitality Stadium.

Huijsen signed for Real Madrid after his £50m release clause was activated last summer, following a superb debut season at Bournemouth. Rayan's contract contains a €100m (£86.3m) release clause that will only become active in 2027.
