Liverpool are being faced with some key decisions in the transfer market over the next few weeks.

It is not only in terms of incomings where the Reds have been quiet in the window so far.

With just over one week to go before the Premier League season kicks off, Liverpool are also yet to really make any major moves in terms of outgoings.

As usual, this should pertain more to young players finding places to continue their development away from Anfield, mostly on-loan.

However, one or two may even leave permanently. Bobby Clark has been linked with RB Salzburg and it seems that the 19-year-old is not the only youngster who could be leaving permanently.

Liverpool weighing up Ben Doak exit

Liverpool have some exceptional young players coming through their academy. As seen during the tour of the USA, a number are knocking on the door of the first-team squad.

It stands to reason that not all of these talents are going to be given ample time in the senior side throughout the season, though.

Good as they are, there is already so much competition for places and some would always be better served by heading out the door.

Arne Slot has now had a good amount of time to cast his eye over the prospects he has at his disposal, having utilised a fair few over them over each of the three games in the US.

And according to The Express, Slot has decided that, based on what he has seen in pre-season, Ben Doak will be allowed to leave this summer.

It’s claimed that this would ideally be a loan move, with Premier League trio Leicester City, Southampton and Brentford all said to be interested.

And although it’s reported that a temporary transfer is seen as the ‘most likely solution,’ it’s also claimed that Liverpool aren’t ruling out a permanent move either.

The Reds will reportedly ‘take all options into consideration,’ which would include offers to buy Doak from them.

Should Liverpool sell Ben Doak?

In fairness to Doak, we actually thought that he was one of Liverpool’s more impressive young players across the games played.

The 18-year-old showed his trademark lightning speed and made an impact in each of the three matches.

Doak has been deemed ‘amazing‘ for the way he settled into the senior Scotland national team and he has looked similarly at home with Liveprool.

Having said all of that, we can understand why the Reds could be thinking about moving Doak on. As things stand, he doesn’t look likely to get much game time as one of Liverpool’s forwards.

Because of this, it feels the best move to send him out for next season. However, it’s hard to see how a permanent move at this stage would make sense.
