Liverpool have been relatively quiet in the transfer window but there are a number of deals the Reds could look to pull off before the deadline

Liverpool have remained largely inactive in the transfer market as the transfer deadline approaches. However, the clock hasn't run down yet for the reigning Premier League champions to bolster their squad.
Arne Slot's team presently find themselves outside the top four and despite initial title aspirations, these have virtually disappeared. The Reds invested substantially during the summer, spending close to £450million to secure players including Alexander Isak, Hugo Ekitike and Florian Wirtz.
Such significant outlay has resulted in a subdued winter window thus far, though fresh reports indicate £55m is about to be committed. This follows an agreement being reached for French defender Jeremy Jacquet.
Mor Talla Ndiaye confirmed
Liverpool's summer investment made substantial January activity improbable but with their focus on future prospects they secured young Senegal defender Mor Talla Ndiaye earlier in the window.
The 18-year-old was acquired from Amitie FC in his homeland through a transaction believed to be valued at £1million. He joins the club's Under-21 squad, having impressed at last year's Under-17 World Cup.
It's also worth highlighting that, similar to Jacquet, the Reds have reached an agreement in principle to secure young Austrian centre-back Ifeanyi Ndukwe from Austria Wien during the forthcoming summer transfer window.

Lutsharel Geertruida signed
Regarding prospective transfers, one that might still come to fruition is the acquisition of current Sunderland star Lutsharel Geertruida. The defender had been earmarked by Slot's outfit as defensive reinforcement.
Nevertheless, despite the player's eagerness to complete the switch, which would have seen him return to his parent club RB Leipzig before signing a short-term contract at Anfield, this deal appears to have collapsed. Sunderland have failed to locate a replacement and consequently were reluctant to sanction this move.
But matters progress rapidly on deadline day and a late arrival at the Stadium of Light could revive this transfer. With several defenders sidelined through injury, the adaptable Geertruida, who only arrived in England during the summer, would offer superb backup at right-back and centre-half. Though any move hinges on other pieces of the puzzle falling into position.

Curtis Jones sold
Liverpool might also approve some departures on deadline day and one figure suggested for an exit is Curtis Jones. The academy graduate has fewer than 18 months remaining on his existing contract.
Jones has featured infrequently under Slot this campaign and was linked with a January departure to secure regular first-team football. Inter Milan were amongst the rumoured suitors.
However, any departure has now reportedly ground to a halt and talks with other clubs have been suspended. Still, there could be additional developments on the final day of the window and an exit can't be entirely dismissed.

Andrew Robertson sold
Another player who was rumoured to be heading out of Anfield this window is Andrew Robertson. One of the Reds' most dedicated servants has found himself behind Milos Kerkez in the left-back hierarchy. Because of their injury concerns, Tottenham had expressed interest in Robertson and were keen to secure him as backup.
But Liverpool were unable to approve a transfer. Robertson's contract runs out at the season's conclusion, so if the club opts to recoup funds for their vice-captain instead of permitting the Scotland international to depart on a free, a late twist could materialise.
