Bournemouth slap £80M price tag on midfielder that Iraola desperately wants at Liverpool

foreverwho led the Cherries to their best-ever top-flight placement in the 2025-26 season, is reportedly lining up a move to raid his former club as he rebuilds a Liverpool side who finished just 3 points above him last season.

Scottjust 22 years old, has emerged as a favourite to make his way to Merseyside alongside the likes of Ryan and Croup Junior who are top targets for the Spaniard during the summer transfer window.

Scott has gone on to make 80 Premier League appearances for the club, scoring four goals during that time which helped him snatch an England call up with the Three Lions squad at their pre-World Cup camp in Florida despite missing out on the full side.

Now, as Iraola weighs up his options, The Mirror report that Bournemouth will seek around £80M for Scott as they stand firm on a bold asking price for the young midfielder.

Under Iraola, Scott was instrumental as he showed a high work rate and deep ball progression which was exactly what Liverpool are missing in the middle of the park under former manager Arne Slot.

Liverpool’s £446M spending spree did not yield immediate results last season and they may seek to spend tactically this summer as they attempt to build a side which can not only grab Champions League football but also challenge for the league title.
