Bristol City CEO Phil Alexander has confirmed the club haven’t received any formal offers for prized asset Alex Scott but a plan has been in place since March to both deal with a credible approach that matches their valuation, and then react to his sale, should it come to pass in this transfer window.
Significant noise is building around Scott’s status at Ashton Gate following the opening of the transfer window last Wednesday with numerous national outlets and journalists offering various hints at his possible next destination with Bournemouth, Tottenham Hotspur and Wolves noted as the most likely landing spots.
City’s position has always been clear: with two years remaining on his deal, Nigel Pearson and Steve Lansdown are on record maintaining his baseline value stands at £25m and anyone wishing to purchase the 19-year-old has to meet that figure.
