Ben Doak is expected to have a significant impact at Anfield, so Liverpool may not need to look for a replacement for Mohamed Salah should the Egyptian be transferred to the Saudi Pro League.
At the conclusion of the summer transfer window, Al-Ittihad reportedly made a £150 million offer for Mohamed Salah, which Liverpool reportedly rejected. However, the Saudi Pro League is anticipated to make another bid for the star winger the following season. Leroy Sane has emerged as a likely replacement; the former Manchester City winger is in career-best form for Bayern with six goals in seven Bundesliga games, but is ready for a new challenge after four seasons back in Germany. Sane is valued at €44.9 million by FootballTransfers’ internal algorithm, and Bayern would probably demand at least that amount to part ways with a star player who is still under contract until 2025, but Andy Walker believes Liverpool don’t need to spend as much money.
The Celtic legend predicted that Doak, who transferred from Parkhead to Anfield in July 2022 for just £600,000, “will get some more game time between now and the end of the season.”. “You can tell by Mo Salah’s explosive outburst what it meant to him. He wasn’t pleased to see Ben Doak entering the game, whether it was Chelsea or the inaugural contest of the year. “. Although Salah was also substituted for Harvey Elliott in the 77th minute of that 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge with Chelsea, Doak technically took the place of Luis Diaz that day. Other than this season’s UEFA Youth League and Premier League 2, where the 17-year-old has managed eight goals and six assists from 21 games, Doak’s Liverpool career has primarily been limited to those two competitions. In terms of money, Liverpool made a wise investment in him because, according to FootballTransfers’ internal algorithm, he is worth €4.6M (£4m). However, if Walker is right and he can really replace Salah, his value will increase exponentially.
