Romano: Chelsea's Bid for Alex Scott Rejected, But Major Midfield Signing Still Planned
Renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano reported that Chelsea has made a tentative inquiry for Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott, but Bournemouth firmly rejected the approach, stating Scott is not for sale this summer. Despite this setback, Chelsea has not abandoned plans to sign a major midfield reinforcement. After signing Morgan Rogers, the club's management and head coach Xabi Alonso believe the midfield still needs strengthening, particularly in defensive coverage and passing ability. Chelsea is also evaluating other targets, including center-back Lacroix, but midfield depth is considered a priority for multi-front competitiveness next season. The club will continue to push for midfield signings in the upcoming transfer window and may look for alternatives beyond Scott.
