Scott has emerged as a potential target for Liverpool as they assess their options in midfield ahead of the January transfer window.
However, the Merseyside club are understood to be in no rush to strengthen that area of their squad, with other targets also under consideration.
Monaco’s Lamine Camara and Roma midfielder Manu Koné are among the other players being monitored by Liverpool as they evaluate possible additions.
Chelsea, meanwhile, are increasingly confident of securing Scott’s signature, with fresh discussions reportedly underway over a potential transfer.
The Blues’ renewed interest could set up a contest between two Premier League rivals for the Bournemouth midfielder, who has attracted attention for his performances since joining the south coast club.
However, any deal could prove expensive, with Bournemouth reportedly demanding more than £100 million for the 22-year-old.
Such a valuation could complicate negotiations for interested clubs, particularly with the January window traditionally presenting challenges for teams seeking to recruit key players midway through the season.
Scott’s versatility and ability to contribute in midfield make him an attractive option for clubs looking to strengthen their squad.
For Liverpool, the availability of alternative targets in Camara and Koné could influence their approach, especially if they decide against making a major investment in January.
Chelsea’s reported progress in talks could give them an advantage, although a deal remains uncertain as the transfer window approaches.
