Liverpool Made a Serious Enquiry to Sign Jayden Bogle in January

In the January transfer window, Liverpool made a serious enquiry to sign Leeds United right-back Jayden Bogle, but the Whites had no intention of selling the 25-year-old defender.[3][6]



Bogle, who joined Leeds in the summer of 2024, has been a consistent performer in the Premier League this season, impressing with his defensive solidity and attacking contributions from the right flank.[1][2] His contract runs until 2028, giving Leeds leverage to reject approaches, especially as they battle relegation while showing recent defensive improvements.[1][2]

Under manager Arne Slot, Liverpool sought reinforcements at right-back, viewing Bogle as a potential option despite Trent Alexander-Arnold's presence. However, Leeds prioritized retaining key players to aid their survival fight, and Bogle himself reaffirmed his commitment, stating to BBC Radio Leeds: “No, like I said, I’m just solely focused on what we’re doing this season and the goals we’ve got to achieve.”[3][5]

The interest from Liverpool caught attention amid broader links for Bogle, including from Everton, who see him as a long-term successor to Seamus Coleman. Yet, Bogle remains settled at Elland Road, enjoying his football and unlikely to push for a move if Leeds stay up.[1][2] His modest £30,000 weekly wage could treble at a top-half club, making retention a challenge for Leeds beyond this season.[3]

Low expectations exist for Liverpool to pursue Bogle again next summer, though his form will attract more Premier League suitors. For now, he’s tuned out the speculation, concentrating on Leeds’ Premier League ambitions.[3][4]
