While Salah is expected to remain in his current surroundings until the summer, if not beyond, it could be that Liverpool welcome fresh faces through the doors before the winter recruitment deadline passes.
Quizzed on his plans for the final hours of the window, with speculation continuing to rage on the back of a record-breaking spending spree from the Reds in the summer of 2025, Slot told reporters after witnessing a welcome win over Newcastle: “I think there’s always a lot of talks about Liverpool and a lot of talks about Liverpool players. There was a lot of noise around the club the last week, [or] maybe I should say weeks.
“I think our fans showed today what noise really means – that’s being loud, because they were so helpful today. So that is what noise here is in Liverpool. I think we are trying to strengthen the squad and not trying to weaken it. Forty-eight hours, I don’t know how long to go, but let’s see when the window ends.”
Liverpool can focus on transfers over the next couple of days, with the Reds not due to be back in action until welcoming old adversaries Manchester City to Anfield for another eagerly-anticipated Premier League fixture on February 8.
