The report added that Liverpool once rejected the offer of about 20 million pounds for Doak in January, and now they still judge the 19 -year -old player at the same price. Without a proposal, Liverpool is willing to hold the doak as a personnel plan in the squad. However, whether Leeds, West Ham and other clubs will spend that number or not is still a big question.
According to Sky Sports, West Ham is also closely watching the Scottish players, besides European teams like Monaco and Bologna. Doak, who had a last season competing under the loan contract at Middlesbrough, is said to be looking for opportunities to play regularly next season.
With just more than three weeks until the summer transfer window closed, the time for a team to close the DOAK deal is running out. Liverpool also has the pressure to sell this summer when Doak's contract at Anfield will be expired by 2026.
