Liverpool's loan plans for the 2025/26 season involve a strategic approach to several promising young players who could benefit from gaining regular first-team experience elsewhere before returning to challenge for places at Anfield.
Amara Nallo, the 18-year-old defender and captain of Liverpool’s under-21 team, is a key candidate for a loan move. Despite a tough first-team debut that saw him sent off early in a Champions League match against PSV Eindhoven, Nallo remains highly rated but is considered too raw for consistent senior involvement currently, even with Liverpool's limited senior centre-back options. A loan would give him valuable competitive exposure while still keeping him in Liverpool's plans[2].
Ben Doak, a 19-year-old winger, has attracted transfer interest with potential offers upwards of £25 million due to his performances on loan at Middlesbrough and his breakthrough into Scotland's national team. Liverpool face a decision on whether to sell or keep Doak, who must overcome stiff competition on the right flank given Mo Salah's continued excellence. If not integrated into manager Arne Slot's long-term plans, a sale could be lucrative but risky without buy-back options, as some fans urge the club to retain their talented youth[3].
The article also touches on multiple Liverpool youngsters potentially loaned out to accelerate their development, though specific others besides Nallo and Doak are not detailed in the latest August 2025 discussion. Liverpool has a track record of successfully developing and then selling academy players, sometimes reinvesting cleverly in buy-back clauses or transfers.
Overall, Liverpool’s approach reflects a balance between providing youth players with playing time via loans and making pragmatic decisions on transfer opportunities, with the aim to sustain a strong squad both immediately and in the future[2][3].
