Overview

• Bournemouth are in advanced talks with Liverpool to sign 19-year-old Scotland winger Ben Doak for around £25 million.
• Liverpool have received at least one other offer, including a “good offer” from Porto, strengthening their negotiating position.
• Doak joined the club in 2022 for about £600,000 and spent last season on loan at Middlesbrough after making just ten first-team appearances.
• The deal is expected to include contractual safeguards such as buy-back or sell-on clauses, following Liverpool’s recent youth transfer strategy.
• A sale would further deplete Arne Slot’s attacking options at Anfield, with the manager having already signalled the need for additional forward reinforcements.
