Liverpool have surpassed £200 million in player sales this summer, following the transfer of young winger Ben Doak to Bournemouth.
The 19-year-old player has signed a five-year contract with the Cherries in a deal worth £25 million.
Doak, signed from Celtic in 2022 for £600,000, played 10 games for Liverpool in his first two years and spent the entire last season on loan at Middlesbrough, where he scored three goals in 24 games.
With his departure, he joins the list of players who have left the club this summer, including Luis Díaz, Darwin Núñez, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Caoimhín Kelleher, and Jarell Quansah. The revenue from these sales will help offset spending on transfers that exceeds £300 million.
This figure could increase, as Liverpool still maintains interest in Crystal Palace center-back Marc Guéhi, and Newcastle striker Alexander Isak, which would cost them at least another 150 million pounds.
However, more exits from Anfield are likely, with Kostas Tsimikas, now third-choice left-back after the arrival of Milos Kerkez and not called up for Friday’s victory over Bournemouth, linked with Nottingham Forest.
Midfielder Harvey Elliott is still in talks with RB Leipzig, who will likely make a formal offer once the future of Xavi Simons, a Chelsea target, is decided.
It is understood that West Ham were also interested in the England Under-21 international, but the Bundesliga is currently the most attractive option for him.
