Bristol City to Benefit from Alex Scott's Potential Sale
Bristol City owner Steve Lansdown says the club will make millions if midfielder Alex Scott is sold to a bigger club. The 25-year-old is under contract until 2028 and has impressed in his time in the Premier League.
What happened?
Scott was sold to Bournemouth from non-league Guernsey FC in December 2019 for around £25m. The England Under-21 international has attracted interest from top teams like Chelsea and Arsenal, with the Cherries rejecting a £64m bid from the Blues last month.
Why it matters for Bristol City
Lansdown says the club will benefit financially if Scott is sold to a bigger club. The owner believes that the club will get a share of the proceeds from the sale, which could be as much as £11m if the sell-on clause is 20% and Bournemouth gets their reported £80m price tag.
What comes next?
Lansdown is looking for new investment in the club to help push towards the Premier League. He believes that the club needs to have the right investment to be successful and is talking to people about potential new investors.
