Forward cost Liverpool £600,000 from Celtic in 2022
Bayern open talks with Chelsea over Christopher Nkunku
Bournemouth are closing in on a deal to sign the Liverpool forward Ben Doak for £25m. The 19-year-old is poised to deliver a huge profit for Liverpool on the £600,000 they paid Celtic in training compensation in 2022.
The Scotland international has been linked with umpteen Premier League clubs and Porto and the proposed switch comes with Bournemouth’s Dango Ouattara poised to join Brentford for up to £42.5m.
Doak’s Liverpool future originally looked bright under Jürgen Klopp but a combination of the German’s departure, injury and the form of Mohamed Salah meant it felt increasingly inevitable he would need to kickstart his career elsewhere. Doak spent last season on loan in the Championship at Middlesbrough but did not feature after late January having sustained a thigh injury which required surgery. Arne Slot has supplemented his Liverpool squad with heavy spending this summer.
