Doak, 18, is eager for more first-team football after recovering from a serious knee injury last season that required surgery. Despite being called up by Scotland for Euro 2024, he was ruled out of the tournament due to another injury. Nonetheless, Doak views this as an opportunity to establish himself as a senior player after his international call-up. If he were to leave, it is expected to be on loan.

Celtic showed interest, but have now shifted their focus to another target, while the Scottish champions are interested in left-back Owen Beck. Meanwhile, Fabio Carvalho has held talks with Slot about his future and aims to impress the Liverpool boss in pre-season to secure a first-team spot. The Portuguese attacker spent the last season on loan at RB Leipzig and Hull, struggling to secure opportunities with the Reds. He realizes the possibility of another loan move due to stiff competition at Anfield.

Carvalho expressed the importance of impressing in pre-season, not only for himself but for all players. He made 20 appearances for Hull in the second half of last season, highlighting the significance of game time for his performance. New Liverpool boss Slot utilized Carvalho as a winger in their pre-season win over Real Betis, acknowledging the tough competition he faces for a spot on the flank with players such as Mo Salah, Diogo Jota, Luis Diaz, and Cody Gakpo ahead of him in the pecking order. Despite this, Carvalho is willing to adapt to Slot’s instructions and work hard.

He also noted his preference for playing as a No 10 and emphasized his commitment to working hard for the team.
