Liverpool winger Ben Doak has sealed a permanent move to Bournemouth.
Doak leaves Anfield after just 10 appearances in three years with Andoni Iraola’s side agreeing a £25 million deal to seal his move to the South Coast.
The Premier League champions have included a buy-back option in his move to the Cherries, mirroring a clause also inserted into Jarell Quansah’s sale.
A host of clubs were tracking the Scotland international this summer after Crystal Palace and Ipswich Town made unsuccessful approaches in January.
Nottingham Forest and Leeds United emerged as potential suitors while Portuguese giants Porto formalised their own interest with a bid.
But Bournemouth’s move for Doak means the Reds have now recouped a guaranteed £206M this summer from player sales, potentially rising to £227M.
Meanwhile a man who was arrested on suspicion of racially abusing Antoine Semenyo during last Friday’s Premier League encounter has been released.
A 47-year-old from Liverpool was initially ejected from Anfield following the alleged incident before being questioned by detectives the following day.
Merseyside Police confirmed on Monday that he has been bailed under strict conditions that prevent him from attending football matches across the UK.
He is also not allowed to be within one mile of a designated football stadium.
