Liverpool manager Arne Slot is pleased with his current squad but hasn’t ruled out making moves in the January transfer window. Despite their strong start to the season, Slot confirmed that the club is always evaluating the market for possible reinforcements, especially as they aim to stay competitive. He acknowledged that while he is very happy with the squad, the club has a history of acting when an opportunity arises.
Five potential signings for Liverpool in January include:
- Martin Zubimendi (Real Sociedad)
After Liverpool’s failed pursuit of Zubimendi in the summer, the Spaniard decided to stay with Real Sociedad. However, with the club underperforming this season, there remains interest from Liverpool. His classy midfield style could complement Liverpool’s current setup, even with Ryan Gravenberch excelling in the No.6 role. - Jeremie Frimpong (Bayer Leverkusen)
With concerns over Trent Alexander-Arnold’s contract and potential interest from Real Madrid, Frimpong is considered as a possible replacement. The Dutch right-back is an attacking dynamo, though his defensive abilities have been questioned, especially with his transformation into more of a winger under Xabi Alonso at Leverkusen. He has a €40 million release clause, though its activation in January is uncertain. - Anis Hadj-Moussa (Feyenoord)
As Mohamed Salah’s contract situation remains unresolved, Liverpool is exploring potential replacements, although securing a long-term option in January seems unlikely. Anis Hadj-Moussa of Feyenoord, who impressed in the Champions League against Manchester City, is a possible target, though Liverpool may look for a more affordable option in the winter window. - Jamie Gittens (Borussia Dortmund)
The young winger is having a breakout season at Borussia Dortmund and has attracted interest from Premier League clubs. While Dortmund is reportedly asking for a €100 million fee, a move in January seems improbable unless negotiations begin in earnest. Gittens’ ability to play both wings has caught Liverpool’s eye. - Omar Marmoush (Eintracht Frankfurt)
Marmoush has been one of the standout players in the Bundesliga, and reports suggest informal discussions between Liverpool and the player have already started. The Egyptian forward dreams of a Premier League move but is not eager to force a transfer in January. Given that striker is not an immediate priority for Liverpool, a loan-back deal could be a potential solution.
In conclusion, while Liverpool is content with its squad, they remain proactive in identifying transfer opportunities as the window approaches.
