If they are to do that, though, they will need to change a worrying trend that has occurred over the last three winter windows, which is quite eye-opening as to how little they have spent.January 2025 = £0At the start of this year, Liverpool were firmly in a title race, with the Reds sitting pretty at the top of the tree.This meant that they did not feel the need to make any signings during this time, even if fans thought otherwise.Liverpool did not even sell many players either, with only Marcelo Pitaluga and Tom Hill leaving on permanent transfers, making it a very quiet January indeed.January 2024 = £0There is a pattern forming here, isn’t there? Yet again, Liverpool spent nothing in the January window in 2024, with this one more a surprise.The Reds were very much in a title race again at the time, although things were a lot tighter at the top, suggesting that adding to the team would have been a good idea.They opted against this, though, with the only activity being loaning out many young stars, while Paul Glatzel was the only permanent outgoing.
