Liverpool have struggled with a lack of depth in midfield after letting Curtis Jones leave for Inter Milan this summer without bringing in a direct replacement. The club has been heavily reliant on Alexis Mac Allister, Ryan Gravenberch and Szoboszlai, leaving limited options when injuries or suspensions arise. Szoboszlai’s recent hamstring injury has highlighted the need for further reinforcements. This could force a £100 million signing as early as January.
The January transfer window rarely brings the biggest transfers, but for Liverpool, going hard for Alex Scott could prove to be the right investment.

According to transfer journalist Romano, Liverpool are one of the clubs strongly interested in the midfielder at Bournemouth.
Szoboszlais returned to the starting lineup against Brentford but suffered a recurrence of injury, leaving Liverpool facing another spell without one of their most important players. Scott can provide valuable competition in midfield. The Bournemouth midfielder has impressed with his technical ability, work effort, and versatility, making him an attractive target for Liverpool.
According to transfer journalist Romano, Bournemouth have changed their stance on selling, and are now willing to consider offers for Scott in January after they have failed to agree a new contract. The Cherries expect at least £100 million, which means Liverpool will have to commit significantly financially to complete the deal.
