Liverpool transfer news LIVE: Lionel Messi claim, Joel Ordonez stance, Harvey Elliott decision

Across the Premier League, the beginning of the January transfer window has been relatively quiet, with little in the way of significant ins and outs.

That said, there have been a few moves for Liverpool youth-team players, with another update emerging on Sunday. Owen Beck’s short-term switch to Derby County was ended prematurely after a disastrous stint in the East Midlands.

In terms of the first-team agenda, it's Liverpool’s pursuit of a center-back that is dominating. The Reds continue to be linked with Club Brugge’s Joel Ordonez, while 17-year-old Ifeanyi Ndukwe is also reportedly on the club’s radar.

There is still no certainty Liverpool will strengthen at the back, however, particularly after such a lavish summer outlay on new recruits.

Meanwhile, the likes of Adam Wharton, Carlos Baleba, Rodrygo and even Lionel Messi have been mentioned in the latest gossip round-ups.

As for outgoings, Harvey Elliott’s future remains uncertain following Unai Emery’s admission that he does not have a future at Aston Villa. Federico Chiesa has also been linked with a return to Italy.
