Reds bank profit on squad exits
The expected sale of Ben Doak to Bournemouth for an initial fee of £20m - with a further £5m in add-ons a possibility - continues a summer theme of Liverpool profiting handsomely from talents developed at the Quansah left for Bayer Leverkusen for about £30m before any add-ons kick in. Caoimhin Kelleher's Brentford switch brought in £12.5m, which could rise further. Trent Alexander-Arnold's switch to Real Madrid brought in a fee of about £8m in order for Liverpool to release the defender early, though Madrid disputed the Phillips moved to West Brom for £1m, while Tyler Morton switched to Lyon for £ some of the fees are subject to add-ons and, such is the nature of transfer business, the reported figures may differ slightly from the deals the clubs actually regardless, Liverpool have brought in between £80m and £90m - before add-ons - for players that cost the club a total of £600,000.

Liverpool to pass £200m in player sales with Ben Doak set to join Bournemouth
Liverpool are about to pass the £200million mark in player sales this summer with teenage winger Ben Doak set to complete a move to Bournemouth. The 19-year-old is on the verge of finalising his transfer to the south coast in a £25million deal, the PA news agency understands. Doak, signed from Celtic in 2022 for £600,000, has made 10 appearances for Liverpool in his first two years and spent the whole of last campaign on loan at Championship side Middlesbrough, where he scored three goals in 24 games. He follows Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Caoimhin Kelleher and Jarell Quansah out of the club this summer, with the income from those sales going a long way to offset a transfer spend in excess of £300m. That figure could go higher with Liverpool still retaining an interest in Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guehi and Newcastle striker Alexander Isak, which would cost them at least another £150m. However, there are likely to be more departures from Anfield with Kostas Tsimikas – now third-choice left-back after the arrival of Milos Kerkez and not in the squad for Friday's win over Bournemouth – linked with Nottingham Forest. Midfielder Harvey Elliott remains in talks with RB Leipzig, who are likely to make a formal move once Chelsea target Xavi Simons' future is decided. West Ham were understood to also be interested in the England Under-21 international but the Bundesliga is currently the most attractive option for him.

Thailand to launch crypto-to-baht conversion for foreign tourists
BANGKOK, Aug 18 (Reuters) - Thailand will launch an 18-month pilot programme to allow foreign visitors to convert cryptocurrencies into baht to make payments locally, officials said on Monday, part of efforts to rejuvenate the country's critical tourist sector. Conversions will be capped at 550,000 baht ($16,949.15) to test the system and prevent money laundering, Finance Ministry permanent secretary Lavaron Sangsnit told reporters, adding that the limit could be reassessed after the pilot period is over. The initiative comes amid a decline in foreign tourist arrivals in Southeast Asia's second-largest economy. Tourists will be able to make the conversions through Thai-based crypto exchange platforms, with the money then moving into online wallet applications so payments can be made to local businesses, Finance Minister Pichai Chunhavajira told reporters. "This project will support tourism," Pichai said, adding that it could also help increase tourist spending in the early stages. Thailand's state-planning agency on Monday lowered its forecast for foreign tourist arrivals in the whole of 2025 by 10% to 33 million. The projected number of foreign tourists is significantly lower than the pre-pandemic peak in 2019, when Thailand registered a record 39.9 million arrivals, generating 1.91 trillion baht ($58.86 billion) in revenue.
