Big Transfer Potential

In a surprising turn of events, Bristol City is open to letting their star player, Alex Scott, leave for a reduced price of £20 million. The Championship side had initially demanded £25 million for the talented teenage midfielder, but clubs like Wolves, Bournemouth, and West Ham were put off by the asking price.

Premier League Interest

Despite the initial lack of interest, Scott, 19, is one of the hottest properties outside the Premier League, and it seems he might be getting the move he desires. Wolves had previously reached out to Bristol City for Scott's transfer in January, but Bournemouth considers themselves the frontrunners in the pursuit. Tottenham has also expressed interest in the midfielder.

Rising Star

Scott's impressive performances earned him the title of the Championship's Young Player of the Year in April. With 42 league appearances last season, Scott scored once and contributed to five goals for Bristol City. The midfielder's rapid rise in form quickly attracted attention from England's top clubs, including European giants Inter Milan.

A Steep Price

Bristol boss Nigel Pearson had previously emphasized that Scott would not be allowed to leave the club for a bargain. Pearson stated, "It's got to be more than £25 million, he shouldn't go for less than that. Since he made his debut for us, he's played 80-odd games, so he's been a regular."

Pearson continued to praise Scott's development and predicted a bright future for him. He confidently stated, "He'll go on to really big things, I'm sure about that. He'll play at the top, he'll play for a top side."

It remains to be seen which club will make a substantial bid for Alex Scott, but one thing is certain – his talent and potential have caught the attention of Premier League clubs.
