Liverpool’s latest transfer live blog focuses on squad plans under Arne Slot, with the club maintaining a measured approach despite injury setbacks and ongoing speculation over key players.

The headline issue is young right-back Conor Bradley’s injury, which will rule him out for a significant period. However, club sources insist this setback will not alter Liverpool’s transfer strategy, with no emergency move planned for a new right-back. Instead, the coaching staff trust existing cover options within the squad and intend to stay aligned with previously defined priorities in other areas of the pitch.

At centre-back, Liverpool continue to be linked with Marc Guéhi after coming close to signing the Crystal Palace defender in the summer, but there is no indication of an imminent bid and the club are wary of overpaying in January. The blog reiterates that while defensive reinforcement is on the long-term agenda, any move must represent clear value, especially with rival clubs such as Manchester City also circling the player and Palace holding firm on their valuation.

There is also ongoing attention on the forward line and wide areas. Liverpool are monitoring potential winger options but are prepared to wait until the right target becomes available rather than rushing into a mid-season deal. Outgoings are framed in similar terms: some fringe players and loanees may move to secure game time, yet there is no appetite for major sales that would weaken Slot’s core group.

Overall, the blog underlines that Liverpool’s January window will be cautious and strategic rather than reactive. Even with Bradley’s injury and external noise around possible marquee arrivals, the club’s stance is to prioritise long-term planning, internal solutions, and financial prudence over short-term fixes.
