Several Premier League clubs, including Manchester United, are interested in signing Scott. However, Bournemouth's negotiating a release clause in his contract may make it harder for them to sign him without meeting the specified transfer fee.

The move could also be influenced by the recent appointment of Andoni Iraola as the manager of Liverpool, which may create an opportunity for Scott to reunite with his former coach.

In any case, Bournemouth's decision to insert a release clause in Scott's contract is a strategic move that demonstrates their commitment to retaining his services.
