Liverpool Maintains Valuation on Ben Doak

Liverpool remains firm on their £30 million valuation of winger Ben Doak amid renewed interest from Crystal Palace, who had previously made a £15 million bid. The club is not expecting a busy January transfer window, focusing instead on contract negotiations with key players like Trent Alexander-Arnold and Mohamed Salah. Meanwhile, Darwin Nunez's future at Anfield is uncertain, as manager Arne Slot has grown impatient with his inconsistent performances and may be willing to sell him for £50-60 million. Reports suggest that Nunez has struggled to secure a starting position, with Slot favoring other attackers. Additionally, Liverpool is concerned about Alexander-Arnold's potential move to Real Madrid, especially after the club rejected a low initial offer. Liverpool is prioritizing a new center-back and midfielder this month, while also considering potential replacements for Nunez, including Alexander Isak and Marcus Thuram.
