Liverpool are now set to benefit from an additional cash boost this summer.
Ben Jacobs reports on X (formerly Twitter) that former Red Dominic Solanke, now of Bournemouth, is the subject of ‘advanced talks’ between the Cherries and Tottenham.
The Merseysiders have a 20 per cent sell-on clause inserted in the deal that took the Englishman to the south coast back in 2019.
Solanke enjoyed a productive 2023/24 campaign in the Premier League, registering 19 goals and three assists in 38 top-flight games last term.

Theoretically, if Spurs do meet Bournemouth’s £65m release clause, The Athletic reports that we could stand to earn as much as £9m from the arrangement.
A welcome little cash boost at a time when we’re pushing hard for Martin Zubimendi’s signature (release clause worth £51.7m) and hope to land further targets.
It’s a shame it never quite worked out for Solanke at Anfield – though understandable given we boasted the talents of Bobby Firmino, Sadio Mane and Mo Salah at the time!
Nonetheless, we do wish the very best for our former striker should the move to London go ahead.
