Liverpool might profit millions from the striker’s £65 million transfer, five years after he left.

Former Liverpool striker Dominic Solanke is a sought man following a successful season for Bournemouth Liverpool might receive a hefty cash windfall if Dominic Solanke leaves Bournemouth this summer.

The 26-year-old striker was in excellent form for the Cherries last season, assisting Andoni Iraola’s side to another season of top-flight play next season with 19 goals in 38 Premier League games, his performances transforming him into a talismanic figure for the Dorset club.

His outstanding form has put him on the radar of a number of elite teams this summer, with the striker potentially ending his six-year spell at the Vitality Stadium.

Liverpool transferred Solanke to Bournemouth in 2019 for around £19 million, which was regarded as a savvy move at the time for a player who had scored just once in 27 appearances for the Reds.

There were two conditions in that deal: one was a buyback clause that would have allowed Liverpool to sign Solanke for a fixed amount, and the other was a 20% sell-on charge on any profit Bournemouth gained from the striker’s sale.

The buyback provision was time limited and has already expired, with Solanke signing a new contract with Bournemouth last year, but the 20% sell-on remains intact, and it could be worth over £9 million to Liverpool this summer if a transaction is completed.

According to the Athletic, Solanke’s Bournemouth deal, signed last year, includes a £65 million release clause, which can only be activated by a restricted group of unknown clubs. With considerable interest in Solanke, Liverpool might be entitled to 20% of the £46 million, in addition to the profit Bournemouth would make if the clause was met.

That would present the Reds with a pleasant financial boost, bringing the total amount earned on a player purchased from Chelsea for a tribunal-set value of £3 million in the summer of 2017 to £28 million.

Fenway Sports Group, the owners of Liverpool, intends to acquire another football club as part of a multi-team strategy in order to facilitate player trading, producing value in not only the transfer price received by the selling of a player, but also the player’s potential future resale value.

Arsenal and Liverpool gain ground as the Dutch star says, “I am open to it,” in response to transfer rumours.

This summer, there have been rumours about Justin Bijlow, the goalkeeper from the Netherlands, moving to the Premier League. Arsenal and Liverpool are apparently interested in signing him.

Recent sources suggest that Arne Slot, the new manager of Liverpool, is eager to bring Bijlow to Anfield. Recently transferred from Feyenoord, Slot sees Bijlow as the perfect backup to Alisson Becker.

Although Caoimhin Kelleher has excelled in that role over the past few seasons, it is anticipated that he will quit the team this summer in order to pursue regular first team opportunities abroad.

Similar to Newcastle, Arsenal is rumoured to be searching for a backup goalkeeper, with Aaron Ramsdale being linked to a summer transfer. Bijlow is supposedly another player who the Gunners are considering to replace Ramsdale.

In response to these links, the Feyenoord custodian has now stated that he is gratified by these elite clubs’ interest.

Bijlow’s reaction to the Premier League connections Speaking to the Dutch publication Voetbalzone, he responded as follows when questioned about the connections with the Premier League’s elite clubs:

“Those two clubs are really pleasant.”

Naturally, it’s wonderful to be acknowledged at prestigious clubs. To put it simply, I have ambitions. I will give it my all to play for Feyenoord, but first and foremost, I want to concentrate on the Dutch squad.

Additionally, he declined to rule out a summer move, stating:

“Shall I remain at Feyenoord?” I mean, you never know. Football is that. That is unknown to you.

As I’ve always said, I’m ambitious. I’m willing to consider it if the chance arises and a decent club arrives from overseas. It’s what I’ve always said.
