Liverpool fans, brace yourselves for a shocking development! Reports suggest that Arne Slot has informed one of the club’s brightest young prospects that he is free to leave immediately. This surprising decision has caused a stir among supporters and raised questions about a potential shift at Anfield.
Ben Doak Set to Leave Liverpool Amid Transfer Interest
Liverpool winger Ben Doak, currently on loan at Middlesbrough, is reportedly allowed to leave the club during the January transfer window. The 19-year-old has caught the attention of Crystal Palace and Ipswich Town, who have had offers of £15 million and £16 million rejected. However, with Liverpool’s asking price set at £25 million, it’s uncertain if either club will return with a revised bid.
While on loan at Middlesbrough, Doak has shown solid form in the Championship. A permanent move could offer him the chance to establish himself as a first-team regular—something Liverpool may not be able to provide.
Manager Arne Slot has made it clear that Doak does not fit into his long-term plans at Anfield. In addition to Crystal Palace and Ipswich, Middlesbrough and other clubs are also believed to be interested in a permanent deal for the young winger.
Doak is highly regarded for his pace and technical ability. Former Everton striker James McFadden recently praised his quickness and first touch, noting that he has both speed and skill—a rare combination.
With clubs eager to sign him, Doak’s potential to develop into a Premier League player makes him an attractive prospect. For Liverpool, a £25 million transfer would be a good financial move, allowing them to reinvest in their squad.
The coming weeks will reveal where Doak’s future lies, as interested clubs determine whether to meet Liverpool’s asking price.
