January could shape up to be an interesting transfer window for Liverpool.
By then, we will likely know whether Ibrahima Konate is going to stay at Anfield or concede to the allure of Real Madrid.
The month could also reveal insights into Marc Guehi’s future intentions.
The Englishman’s contract expires next summer, giving foreign clubs a major advantage; they can begin pre-contract negotiations with him in January.
If heavyweight European sides like Real Madrid and Bayern Munich fail to secure Guehi to a pre-contract agreement in the winter, it could indicate he’s prioritizing a move to Liverpool or another Premier League club.
Additionally, Antoine Semenyo is realistic target for Liverpool as we exclusively revealed, and it remains to be seen if the club’s hierarchy choose to do some winter business in that regard.
Of course, there is always plenty of loan activity in this month, with the Athletic now reporting that Trey Nyoni’s future at the club is at a bit of a crossroads.
The promising 18-year-old has only made senior appearances in the Carabao Cup this season, and as a result a loan move being actively considered if the right opportunity arises.
Despite his technical prowess, Nyoni is still maturing physically and is working on a tailored training regime to help him catch up to his peers, according to the report.
Interest from clubs in England and across Europe is strong, but any loan move is hinged on the “fitness and form of the senior midfielders”.
Both Nyoni and Rio Ngumoha have been training with the first team this term, a deliberate strategy by Arne Slot to accelerate their development.
The manager believes dropping them into under-21s football wastes valuable days—missing pre-match preparation, matchday sessions, and recovery work disrupts their progress with the first team.
Of course, it means they miss games they would have got at u21 level, with Nyoni only making one appearance for Rob Page’s side this season.
