Liverpool suffered its first defeat of the season over the weekend, in a frustrating clash with Manchester City, with all eyes now fixed on the matches ahead.
Andoni Iraola is getting a clearer vision of his team with each passing game, learning more about which players may fit his style and those who will not for the future.
That means some problems that will likely be addressed in future transfer markets, with work already being done on potential signings and exits over the coming weeks, months, and years.
So, with that said, here's a look at the latest Liverpool transfer news and rumors ahead of another busy day of action for the Merseyside outfit.

Alexis Mac Allister faces an uncertain future at Liverpool, as he enters the final two years under contract with the club, with teams seemingly paying attention to that situation.
TeamTalk reports that Real Madrid scouts were in attendance for the Reds' clash with Manchester City as part of an assessment of potential targets, of which the midfielder is one of them.
Mac Allister was heavily linked with a move in the summer, but opted to stay at Liverpool for the season. He has since made it clear that he is unhappy with his contract situation, which could cause some concern for the future, with Los Blancos seemingly still circling a possible switch.
Liverpool.com says: Real Madrid has made a real habit of snatching Liverpool players at the end of their contract, so it's no surprise to see the Spanish giants keeping an eye on Mac Allister.
As the star approaches his final 18 months with a deal at Anfield, the Reds could be forced into making a decision on his future sooner rather than later.

Liverpool has been linked with a transfer for Michael Olise as an option to improve the right wing, as doubts continue to surround his contract at Bayern Munich.
While it's unclear whether the player would want a move to Merseyside, it seems as though the Reds aren't the only team monitoring his situation. Football Transfers reports that Arsenal is also keeping a close eye on the winger's contract talks with Bayern Munich, which could prompt an approach in the near future.
Interest is also there from PSG and Real Madrid, setting up a difficult situation for both his current club and the suitors in trying to seal a deal.
Liverpool.com says: It's no surprise to see such competition arise for Olise, should he become available, having shown plenty of quality at the top level for a while now.
The difficulty for Liverpool will be in convincing the player that Anfield is the right place to be, given recent difficulties, as well as the challenges that could arise in funding a move that is likely to cost well over the $100 million mark.
