That included a few stints at right-back during an injury-hit season.That exit could see Liverpool enter the market for replacements, with the report claiming that Bournemouth's Alex Scott is the first-choice option for Iraola this summer.It would see the manager reunite with the midfielder from their time together on the south coast of England, with Scott featuring 89 times under the Spanish coach.Any deal is unlikely to come cheap, however.Recent reports have claimed that a fee of $107 million will be needed to land the England international, while the Cherries are also keen to seal a new contract for the star.It remains to be seen whether a move will be possible when Liverpool gets to the end of the transfer window, especially after last summer's record-breaking transfer spend.As it stands, signing RB Leipzig star Yan Diomande appears to be the priority, but that move is likely to cost in the region of $117 million, proving that sales for someone like Jones could be key to securing some big deals.While doubts continue over the possible midfield additions after, Liverpool has made contact with Lille over Ayyoub Bouaddi after his World Cup heroics for Morocco against Brazil on debut.Choose Liverpool.com as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.Curtis JonesLiverpool FCAndoni Iraola
