According to The Athletic, Liverpool is "braced" for interest in Doak.

Prior to his injury, Doak was able to prove that his talents were comfortably ready for Championship level, raising the genuine possibility that Liverpool might be able to cash in for something like 50 times what it paid to Celtic in compensation back in 2022.

"It was a loan move that proved successful in both ways,” said Carrick, reflecting on Doak's three goals and seven assists in his time at Middlesbrough.

That being said, Slot will no doubt want to assess Doak for himself before signing off on a sale, witnessing the effect that regular senior football has had on the 19-year-old.

After all, even with his new contract, Salah will not remain at Liverpool forever

As Carrick said, the loan has ensured that Liverpool is getting back a better player than the one it sent out.

With that in mind, perhaps the wisest move would be another loan for Doak next season

Should he be made available, Carrick's Middlesbrough will no doubt be keen, although there would be plenty of competition.

Another season of development at the top end of the Championship, or maybe the lower reaches of the Premier League, could set Doak up to come back and really challenge under Slot the following summer

It wouldn't hurt that Salah would be another year older either.

But whatever path Liverpool chooses to take, Doak is a wonderful asset to have on the books
