The January transfer window is now just days away, and for Liverpool, the rumor mill seems to be spinning into overdrive.
Usually, these rumors are dismissed as agent talk or wishful thinking, with the club often keeping their cards close to their chest until a deal is practically done.
However, this January feels different. With the squad stretched especially in defense, it feels like winter business is a distinct possibility. Fabrizio Romano seems to think so at the very least, with the Italian transfer commenting on his YouTube channel that he feels the Anfield club will do business this January:
“We will see how Alexander Isak injury impacts the market,” Romano began. “My information is that Liverpool made some calls in terms of opportunities, like in November I told you about Semenyo. Now in this month they started calling for other players to understand some potential opportunities.”
“So, I would keep the door open for Liverpool movements in the January transfer window. We will try to understand the positions, the injuries and recovery times will also help to understand what Liverpool will decide to do. But I think there is a chance we will have a Liverpool ‘Here We Go’ in the January transfer window”
Meanwhile, more than a few Liverpool loanees could return. The main concern is Harvey Elliott, whose season-long move to Aston Villa included a £35 million obligation to buy that depended on him reaching 10 appearances; frozen out under Unai Emery, he remains stuck on five and his future is unclear.
Kostas Tsimikas is in a similar position at Roma, where a lack of minutes has prompted talk in Italy that the club may send him back early to clear space in their squad. James McConnell’s spell at Ajax has also stalled, with a change in manager leaving him out of favour and without a single appearance since early November.
