THE Cherries are open to selling Alex Scott in January, but only if certain conditions are met, with Liverpool in a favourable position to sign the midfielder, the Daily Echo understands.
The BBC's Nizaar Kinsella has reported that discussions between Bournemouth and Scott's representatives have resulted in the club and the player's camp agreeing that they will be open to offers in the January window.
However, any deal remains subject to strict conditions.
Any offer would need to exceed £100 million, and, crucially, bids would only be entertained if Premier League safety is looking likely.

Liverpool are understood to be in a favourable position due to their pre-existing relationship with both Bournemouth and Scott, with former boss Andoni Iraola in charge at Anfield.
Other interested suitors include Chelsea, and there will likely be further interest due to Bournemouth's change in stance.

The Dorset club remained resolute throughout the summer that Scott was not for sale, with a bid from Chelsea quickly rejected and other approaches turned away.
The midfielder has a little under two years left on his contract, and he did not sign a new deal in the summer despite discussions with the club.
He is currently sidelined after picking up a quad injury during the international break that will keep him out of action for a number of weeks.
During that break, Scott impressed on his England debut off the bench against Czechia and in his first international start during the 7-0 drubbing of Croatia in Rijeka.
