Liverpool are sticking to their £30m valuation for in-demand winger – after rejecting bids from Crystal Palace and Ipswich Town for half that fee

Liverpool will continue to point to their £30million valuation of Ben Doak as Crystal Palace look to make a revised offer for the Scotland international.

Palace had a £15million bid rejected by Liverpool last week while Ipswich had an offer of £16m rebuffed and Oliver Glasner‘s side will try again.

However, Liverpool have gauged their valuation on similar market transactions such as the £25m West Ham paid for Crysencio Summerville from Leeds United last summer and the £30m Tottenham paid Burnley for Wilson Odobert.

Liverpool believe 19-year old Doak is further advanced and has reflected that in his performances in the Championship for Middlesbrough this season.

They are happy to leave him with Michael Carrick for the rest of the season to continue his progression unless a sizeable bid closer to their valuation is made.

Meanwhile, Liverpool midfielder Stefan Bajcetic has emerged as an option for Real Betis. 

The Spaniard has endured a difficult spell on loan at Red Bull Salzburg but Liverpool’s current plan is for the 20-year old to stay with the Austrian club.
