In the latest video published on his personal channel, Romano discussed the transfer situation of AFC Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott. He revealed that Chelsea made two attempts to sign Scott this summer, both of which were rejected by AFC Bournemouth. Chelsea still considers him a midfield target and remains in contact with the player's representatives.

Romano stated: "Guys, let me also talk about Alex Scott. Many people are asking about his situation. What's the progress now? What will happen next? What's going on with this?"

Regarding Alex Scott, I can tell you that Chelsea made a formal approach and submitted a formal offer. That is to say, at two different times during the summer transfer window, Chelsea made two attempts, but both were rejected by AFC Bournemouth.

AFC Bournemouth never intended to sell Alex Scott. Their response to Chelsea and Arsenal was the same. Liverpool also made some calls, and several other clubs were interested in him, but AFC Bournemouth consistently said: 'No way, this player is staying here.'

So he was absolutely not for sale at the time. Things might be different in 2025, likely in the summer, but we'll also see what happens in January. Currently, AFC Bournemouth is insisting that the player finishes the entire season before potentially leaving in the summer of 2025.

However, I can tell you now that Chelsea has not forgotten about Alex Scott. They are still considering him and still see him as a transfer target. Chelsea believes that Alex Scott is an ideal candidate to strengthen their midfield. He is a very talented player, an English player, and also qualifies as a homegrown player. Therefore, Chelsea sees him as an ideal midfield signing.

So Chelsea is still working on signing Alex Scott and remains in contact with the player's representatives. They are actively pursuing this.

Liverpool also knows this player very well. This summer, they were in constant contact with the player's entourage but never submitted an offer. So we'll also see what Liverpool does next. As for Arsenal, they have already spent money on signing Guimarães. Of course, as a top midfielder, Alex Scott is also a player they are interested in, but there has been no substantive progress yet.

Chelsea is closely monitoring this situation, so this will be something to continue watching in 2025.

If you ask me today, I would say that Chelsea is indeed still seriously considering Alex Scott. Because, I reiterate, Chelsea considered signing him all summer, but it didn't progress. But he has always been a player Chelsea seriously considered. I would not be surprised if they make another bid for him in 2025 and formally submit an offer."
