Ipswich make £16m offer to sign Ben Doak from Liverpool. Far below valuation + (like #CPFC’s £15m) bid rejected but #ITFC pursuit ongoing. Middlesbrough informed that at current proposal levels #LFC preference is for 19yo to stay at #Boro @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/DwZYOObEAE

Doak who’s playing at Middlesbrough right now is showing what he can do which is why Liverpool sees him as real important for what’s coming next. The club really wants to help young players grow and make sure they get good game time.
Liverpool’s Strategic Decisions
Liverpool ain’t messing around in the transfer market they won’t sell Ben Doak unless someone pays what they want. The club has done big money deals before which is why they put this price on Doak. They want him to stay at Middlesbrough till the season’s done which shows they care about making him better.
Interest From Other Clubs
It’s not just teams here that want Ben Doak lots of Premier League clubs and teams in Europe want to get him too. But Liverpool’s pretty clear they won’t let him go unless someone pays what they’re asking. This is how Liverpool does things they like to keep their good players around.
The transfer window stays open until February 3, 2025 so there’s still time for teams to maybe offer more money if they want him bad enough. If you wanna know more about what Liverpool’s doing with transfers, check out Liverpool FC’s transfer news.
