Real Madrid have been linked with Alex Scott. The interest follows the Bournemouth midfielder’s England debut, according to TEAMtalk. It comes after England beat Croatia 7-0 on Saturday, when Scott picked up his first senior minutes. The Alex Scott transfer talk began almost as soon as the final whistle went.
Chelsea remain in the box seat for his signature, according to a couple of outlets. Bournemouth, though, are adamant they won’t sell him yet. Scott has also turned down a couple of new contract offers at the Vitality Stadium. His long-term future stays open.
Primary Source Attribution & Official Details
TEAMtalk’s report stops short of claiming contact has been made. It simply places Real Madrid among those keeping tabs on Scott. Chelsea’s status as favourites is also unconfirmed. It comes from a couple of outlets, not any official club source.
Scott made his first senior England appearance during the international break. He came on as the Three Lions thrashed Croatia 7-0. Luka Modric, now 41, played for Croatia that night. It gave the Bournemouth midfielder a rare chance to share a pitch with one of his heroes. You can read the full detail from that night in our report on England’s Croatia win.
Scott described the emotions after full time:
No better feeling. First start and to start with a win like that is amazing. The quality in this squad – you could see from the first minute, the lads we’ve got in the front line, they’re pretty deadly.
He also spoke about facing a boyhood idol:
It’s pretty surreal, one of my favourite players growing up, and to be on the same pitch and competing with him was a great honour.
Both quotes come from a source report on Scott published after the Croatia win. That same report first linked Chelsea with his signature.
Squad Impact & Tactical Context
Bournemouth built their midfield around Scott last season. His England recognition only hardens their resolve to keep him. It is the same stance they held all summer. You can read more in our earlier Scott transfer report, from when Chelsea’s interest first became public.
A move to the Bernabéu would be unusual for Real Madrid. They tend to sign proven internationals rather than develop young Premier League midfielders. Facing Modric at Wembley will not have hurt Scott’s case either way. Still, only one report connects him to the club so far. Real Madrid’s own season carries on regardless.

What Happens Next / Upcoming Timeline
Nothing in the reporting suggests Real Madrid are close to a move. Bournemouth’s refusal to sell leaves the Alex Scott transfer story at the speculation stage for now. Scott has turned down two contract offers already. That keeps the door open for a future exit, even though no club has made an approach. Chelsea remain the club most strongly linked. Scott, for now, is expected to continue his breakthrough season at Bournemouth while his current deal runs down.
