Liverpool are already being linked with several potential new signings for the January transfer window, which closes on February 3, before reopening in the summer.
Federico Chiesa was the only major addition to Liverpool’s first-team squad in the summer transfer window, while Giorgi Mamardashvili also joined, though the goalkeeper will remain with Valencia until the end of the season before officially joining his new teammates.
Rumors have been circulating for weeks, suggesting that Liverpool could be looking to strengthen their squad in January. With three weeks left until the deadline, it remains unclear whether the Reds will add new players for the second half of the season.
Here’s the latest transfer news and gossip surrounding Liverpool:
Liverpool are reportedly interested in Bayern Munich’s Leroy Sane, who will be out of contract at the end of the season. Recent reports suggest the Reds are in the running to sign the Germany international, with Football Insider stating that Bayern have set a £25 million asking price for Sane. With his contract expiring in just over five months, the forward is now free to discuss a pre-contract agreement with clubs outside Germany. Sane has been in talks with Bayern about a new deal, though it is still unclear whether an agreement will be reached.
In other transfer news, the agent of Bayer Leverkusen defender Piero Hincapie has hinted at the player’s future amid links to Liverpool. The Reds were previously linked with Hincapie during the summer, but the defender opted to sign a new contract with the Bundesliga club.
