<title>'Eight years' - Liverpool told what the most exciting thing is about Ben Doak (Liverpool.com)</title>
<link>https://www.liverpool.com/liverpool-fc-news/features/ben-doak-scotland-craig-levein-30416918</link>
<description><p>Liverpool and Scotland fans have been told that the most exciting thing about Ben Doak is just how good he could be in a few years' time.</p><p>Doak lit up the Nations League during the November international break, playing key roles in Scotland's wins over Croatia and Poland as Steve Clarke's men picked up the wins they needed to avoid automatic relegation.</p> <p> The 19-year-old has featured in every game for Scotland since making his international debut at the beginning of September and is reaping the rewards from his decision to leave the Reds on loan over the summer.</p> <p>Doak has also been in fine form for Middlesbrough, heightening excitement among Liverpool supporters ahead of his return to Anfield next year.</p> <p>It's very early days for Doak but there have even been suggestions that he could be the Reds' long-term replacement for Mohamed Salah.</p> <p>One might have expected former Scotland manager Craig Levein to have played down the hype surrounding Doak to try and ease the pressure on him, but it sounds as though he is just as excited as the rest of us.[BREAK]My feeling is, just give him the ball," Levein told BBC Scotland of Doak.[BREAK]"Against Croatia at Hampden, when he got the ball, the whole thing just lifted up a level.[BREAK]He's also got that lack of fear that young players bring and it becomes infectious when you see him enjoying himself."</p> <p>Levein added that he can't wait to see how good of a player Doak develops into in a few years' time[BREAK]He's managed to get himself in the first team on occasions, now he's at Middlesbrough which is a good choice[BREAK]He needs regular football.</p> <p>"Fingers crossed, everything continues in the way it's going for him at the moment because he's a top-class prospect - and the excitement for me always comes knowing that eight years from now, he's going to be much better than he is now."</p></description>

<description><p>We're nearly a third of the way through the season and it's anyone's guess who will lift the Premier League trophy in May.</p><p>Liverpool were expected to stagnate in a post-Jurgen Klopp transition era, but Arne Slot's men are comfortably clear at the summit.[BREAK]Manchester City were tipped to make it five titles on the spin, but Pep Guardiola's players are five points off the pace.[BREAK]The Blues went into the international break off the back of four straight defeats - a first in Guardiola's managerial career.</p><p>But the line-up that started the defeat at Brighton on November 9 was thrown together out of necessity, with Matheus Nunes on the left wing and teenager Jahmai Simpson-Pusey in central defence.</p><p>Key players Rodri, Ruben Dias, John Stones, Jeremy Doku and Jack Grealish were all absent, while the likes of Kevin De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva, Manuel Akanji and Nathan Ake were only fit enough for the bench.[BREAK]The international break came at the perfect time for City, and in a crushing blow for their title rivals, a selection of those injured stars are almost back.</p><p>De Bruyne, Stones, Akanji and Grealish have all been spotted in full City training on the eve of the Premier League restart, boosting Guardiola's options in the heart of defence, out wide and in central midfield.[BREAK]The whole of the reigning champions' starting XI is set to be given a facelift ahead of the most important few weeks of the campaign thus far.</p><p>With Rodri out for the season, City are desperate for a midfield talisman to take games by the scruff of the neck and put their dismal run of form behind them.[BREAK]Ominously for Liverpool and Arsenal, he may even be ready to start at home to Tottenham this Saturday.</p><p>City were in desperate need of a pick-me-up during the international break.</description>

<title>Liverpool transfer news as $84m offer â\x80\x98preparedâ\x80\x99 amid Aurelien Tchouameni talks (Liverpool.com)</title>
<link>https://www.liverpool.com/liverpool-fc-news/features/takefusa-kubo-aurelien-tchouameni-offer-30416716</link>
<description><p>Liverpool is reportedly willing to offer an amount well above Takefusa Kubo's release clause in order to land the exciting Real Sociedad winger.</p><p>It is claimed that the Reds had a bid for Kubo rejected during the summer transfer window but that they are still in the hunt to land the 23-year-old.</p> <p>Kubo is said to have $63 million ($80 million) release clause at Sociedad, but Fichajes says that Liverpool could submit an $84 million ($106.3 million) offer to give itself the best chance of getting a deal over the line.</p> <p>The report adds that Arne Slot is keen to sign a right winger with a high work ethic and that Kubo fits the bill in that regard.</p> <p>Liverpool could be in the market for a new right winger this summer if Mohamed Salah ends up leaving the club, but Kubo would have his work cut out replacing the legendary Egyptian if his figures for Sociedad are anything to go by.</p> <p>Kubo has scored just three goals this season and is yet to register an assist, while Salah has already notched 10 goals and 10 assists for the Reds.</p> <p>Meanwhile, a report in Spain says that Liverpool will use Real Madrid's visit to Anfield in the Champions League as an opportunity to gauge the availability of Aurelien Tchouameni.</p> <p>Liverpool was interested in Tchouameni when Jurgen Klopp was in charge, reportedly getting as far as agreeing personal terms with the Frenchman in 2022, but he opted to join Real Madrid from Monaco instead.</p> <p>Tchouameni has featured regularly for Madrid ever since moving to the Spanish capital, but in recent times there has been a steady stream of speculation that Madrid has started to lose faith in the 24-year-old.[BREAK]</p> <p>DefensaCentral says that Liverpool hopes that Florentino Perez will signal his willingness to sell Tchouameni next summer when the Madrid president travels to Anfield next week.</p> <p>Regarding Liverpool's chances of signing Tchouameni, much will surely depend on Madrid's ability to replace him.[BREAK]A Relevo report earlier this month said that Madrid considered Tchouameni's compatriot, Eduardo Camavinga, as a possible long-term option at the base of its midfield.[BREAK]That report also said that Madrid could consider swooping for Manchester City midfielder Rodri.</p></description>

<title>Liverpool saw its new Virgil van Dijk emerge during the international break (Liverpool.com)</title>
<link>https://www.liverpool.com/liverpool-fc-news/features/virgil-van-dijk-ibrahima-konate-30417091</link>
<description><p>Of the three key Liverpool stars who are out of contract at the end of the season, Virgil van Dijk is the one who has given the clearest indication that he wants to extend his stay on Merseyside.</p><p>Van Dijk said in September that he wants to remain at the club until at least the 2026 World Cup.[BREAK]My full focus is on Liverpool, wanting to win games that are ahead of me and nothing else.[BREAK]I can only tell you that discussions have been started and we will see.â\x80\x9d</p> <p>Aged 33, the end of Van Dijk's playing career is clearly nearer than the beginning of it, yet, right now, he remains one of the very best center-backs in the world and a key part of Liverpool's squad.</p> <p>However, were Van Dijk to leave this summer â\x80\x94 although that seems unlikely â\x80\x94 Liverpool might not be in as perilous a situation as it might have been had he left a few years ago.</p> <p>And that's because of the emergence of Ibrahima Konate, who is enjoying by far the best period of form in his career and showing why so much was expected of him when Liverpool signed him from RB Leipzig three years ago.</p>[BREAK]Liverpool signed Konate from RB Leipzig three years ago[BREAK]<p>Up until this season, Konate was very much a squad player â\x80\x94 and of course, he started this campaign on the bench â\x80\x94 but he has lined up in Liverpool's last 14 matches across the Premier League and the Champions League, cementing his place in Arne Slot's side.</p> <p>At 25, Konate is a year younger than Van Dijk was when he made the switch from Southampton to Liverpool in January 2018, and although he has some way to go to match the impact of his defensive partner at Anfield, he is clearly making significant strides.</p> <p>Konate is perhaps the best centre-back partner that Van Dijk has had at Liverpool, and this week he took another step forward in his development, captaining France for the first time.</p> Read More[BREAK]<p>The Parisian donned the armband for a 3-1 win over Italy in the Nations League in the absence of Kylian Mbappe and is reportedly in contention to be named permanent captain should Mbappe decide that he no longer wants to skipper Les Bleus.</p> <p>Didier Deschamps and his backroom staff are said to have been impressed by Konate's leadership skills, with L'Equipe saying he is viewed as a perfect fit for the role.</p> <p>Those skills are something he perhaps doesn't have to show as often at Liverpool, with established leaders like Van Dijk, Alisson, Andy Robertson, and Trent Alexander-Arnold in his immediate vicinity on the pitch, but the fact that Konate's leadership in one of the best international squads in the world is valued so highly bodes well for the future â\x80\x94 for his club as well as his country.</p></description>

<title>FSG could repeat contract plan to spark Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk Liverpool breakthrough (Echo)</title>
<link>https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/fsg-could-repeat-contract-plan-30411421</link>
<description>Salah, Trent, and Van Dijk will be out of contract next summer(Image: Getty)<p class="Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh">While Liverpool have started the Premier League season in remarkable fashion under Arne Slot, the rumbling issue behind the scenes over the contracts of three of its main stars refuses to go away.</p><p class="Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh">Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah, and Virgil van Dijk all find themselves out of contract at the end of this season, and all three are impactful key players for Slot, all contributing to high levels that would warrant extended and enhanced stays.</p><p class="Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh">The problem for Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group is that such has been the output of the trio that they face an expensive task in retaining their services.[BREAK]There is the understandable expectation from supporters that they will do just that.</p>READ MORE:Stefan Bajcetic sends three-word message after Liverpool loanee summer hintREAD MORE:'Cheap violence' - Alexis Mac Allister forced off as Liverpool star suffers 'tremendous kick'<p class="Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh">But from a business perspective, the owners will, certainly in the case of Salah and van Dijk, be looking at extensions based upon what the players in question will deliver over the coming seasons, not what they have achieved in previous years.[BREAK]For players who are in their 30s and who will be approaching late 30s by the time any new deals run out, that often means having to take a pay cut.</p><p class="Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh">Selling the idea of a pay cut to players who are still contributing in enormous ways to the club at present, and who have shown no signs of decline, is a challenging one.[BREAK]But for owners the focus is on what the value for money and return on investment for Liverpool looks like in two or three years, and that is the hard-nosed business way of looking at such extensions.</p><p class="Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh">What will likely be a course of action for the club and FSG is heavily incentivising the deals for Salah and van Dijk, linking it not only to competitive success with the team but also personal output as the deal wears on.[BREAK]It provides security when it comes to payroll size but also means that bonuses can be paid out when competitive success arrives, which delivers lucrative sums of money to comfortably absorb such costs.</p><p class="Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh">But players like certainty too, and they will want to get as much for their services as they feel that can achieve in the current market, feeling that they have considerable leverage given the current importance that they have to the ongoing success of the side, and how much it would cost the club to find replacements that could match their level of output at the current market rate.[BREAK]For Liverpool, that would be a hugely costly endeavour.</p><p class="Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh">Maybe more flexibility around image rights could be included as part of a negotiation, but players and their agents will want the best deal possible, and with the fact that there remains huge sums of money to be deployed for the next phase of the Saudi Pro League project, the agents have the ability to point to willing suitors who would pay over and above to acquire their clients, and where age wouldnâ\x80\x99t necessarily bring diminishing financial returns.</p></description>
