It appears to be another hectic month on Merseyside for Arne Slot and his Liverpool coaching team, who are keen to reverse a period of lacklustre performance.
The club may potentially delve into the January window to provide the Reds with a much-needed lift in the second-half of the season. However, as already demonstrated, securing signings this winter amid fierce competition could prove challenging.
Liverpool have already missed out on Antoine Semenyo, who joined Manchester City on Friday in a £64million move, while the Sky Blues also threaten their hopes of acquiring Marc Guehi due to injuries to Ruben Dias and Josko Gvardiol.
In other news, Liverpool risk losing Federico Chiesa this month, with reports indicating that the Italian is prepared to return to Juventus after failing to break into Slot's starting XI - despite injuries to Hugo Ekitike and Alexander Isak, as well as Mohamed Salah being away on international duty at the Africa Cup Of Nations.
With all these factors considered, Daily Star Sport looks at some of the latest transfer news surrounding Liverpool...
Dominik Szoboszlai 'agrees' deal
Dominik Szoboszlai is reported to have reached a preliminary agreement to extend his contract at Liverpool. The Hungarian midfielder has been a shining light in Slot's team this season, demonstrating versatility by playing in his natural position in the centre of the pitch, as well as on the right-flank and as a makeshift fullback, reports the Mirror.

Consequently, the 25-year-old has attracted interest from several of Europe's elite clubs, with Bayern Munich and Real Madrid amongst those keeping tabs on him. However, according to CaughtOffside, Szoboszlai is poised to remain at Anfield this month and is also expected to pen a new deal with his current employers.
This will be music to the ears of Liverpool supporters, considering how pivotal Szoboszlai has been since his arrival at the club in 2023.
Yan Diomande delivers 'dream' revelation
Liverpool are amongst several clubs reportedly keen on Yan Diomande this month, as the winger continues to shine in the Bundesliga with RB Leipzig. Recently, Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United and Bayern Munich have also been linked with monitoring the 19-year-old's circumstances.
Nevertheless, judging by his latest remarks about Liverpool, the Reds might possess a slight edge when it comes to securing his signature in the coming months. This is because Diomande has revealed that he previously dreamt about playing under Jurgen Klopp at Anfield.

He said: "I couldn't believe it, because I used to dream of playing on his team. And now I meet him and exchange messages with him. It's crazy, I'm so happy about it."
Yet Diomande has also clarified that he isn't contemplating transfers whilst competing at AFCON. He added: "I don't pay any attention to the rumours. I try to stay focused, calm, and humble.
"For that, I need 100 per cent. I'm doing my job here and not worrying about anything else."
