Liverpool could sanction more than 10 January transfers to keep top-four dreams alive

Liverpool are preparing for a potentially busy January transfer window, with the club reportedly ready to sanction more than 10 deals as they aim to keep their top-four hopes on track under Arne Slot. Outgoings, fringe-player moves and possible reinforcements are all being considered as the new regime continues reshaping the squad inherited from Jürgen Klopp.

One of the headline decisions concerns Federico Chiesa, whose future remains uncertain amid interest from former club Juventus. Liverpool are not actively looking to sell the Italian winger but would listen to a significant offer, likely in the form of a loan with an obligation to buy or a permanent deal at the right price. Slot values Chiesa’s depth in a long, injury-prone campaign, so any departure would depend on both a suitable fee and clarity over Mohamed Salah’s long‑term future.

In defence, Liverpool are weighing moves for centre-backs such as Marc Guéhi and Ousmane Diomande to strengthen a back line that has been hit by injuries and inconsistency. Guéhi, proven in the Premier League, and Diomande, highly rated for his athleticism and potential, fit the club’s strategy of targeting players who can contribute immediately while also offering long-term value.

Beyond headline names, Liverpool are expected to process a raft of loans and squad-trim deals involving younger and peripheral players. These exits would reduce the wage bill, create space in the squad and help fund priority signings. With Champions League qualification financially and sporting-wise crucial to the club, the January window is being viewed as a key opportunity to fine‑tune the squad so Slot has the resources required to sustain a top‑four challenge over the second half of the season.
