Liverpool Star 'Highly Unlikely to Leave' in January

With the January transfer window now open, Liverpool under Arne Slot continues to be linked with potential moves, though the club has yet to make any signings this month. Following a frustrating 2-2 draw at Fulham on Sunday—Liverpool's second consecutive draw—speculation has mounted about possible reinforcements, with some fans calling for activity in the transfer market.

One of the most discussed potential departures involves Federico Chiesa, the 28-year-old Italian winger who joined Liverpool from Juventus in August 2024. Chiesa has struggled to establish himself at Anfield, starting only two Premier League games under Slot's management. According to Sky Sports, the Italian international is highly unlikely to leave in January, despite reported interest from Serie A clubs including Napoli and Juventus.

Liverpool's stance is firm: the club will not sanction a loan move and would only consider permanent offers. While Chiesa remains open to returning to Italy to regain form and boost his prospects with the national team ahead of World Cup playoff matches, no formal approaches have been made so far. The Reds appear determined to retain the winger until at least the summer transfer window.

In other transfer news, defensive target Marc Guehi continues to be linked with a move to Anfield after a proposed summer transfer from Crystal Palace fell through. Liverpool may face competition from Manchester City and other Premier League rivals for his signature.

Additionally, Harvey Elliott's future remains uncertain, with reports suggesting he may be surplus to requirements at Aston Villa. The uncertainty surrounding multiple squad members suggests Liverpool will continue to monitor the transfer market closely throughout January, though significant activity appears unlikely given the club's current stance on departures.
