Liverpool January Transfer Window Signings 2026

Liverpool's 2026 January transfer window has been notably quiet so far, with minimal activity despite the club's dominant Premier League title win in 2024-25 and a massive £446.5m summer spend that shattered British records twice[4]. Under manager Arne Slot, the Reds are defending their crown but trail significantly, prompting speculation on squad bolstering, especially in defense after Conor Bradley's major knee injury against Arsenal[4].

Confirmed Ins

• Mor Talla Ndiaye (CB): Signed for £1m from Amitie FC, providing defensive depth[4].
• Owen Beck (LB): Returned on loan from Derby County, adding left-back options[4].

Total spend: £1m. No significant income, resulting in £0m net spend[4].

Confirmed Outs

• James Norris (LB): Departed on an undisclosed fee to Shelbourne[4].

Potential Ins	Potential Outs
Micky van de Ven (Tottenham)[4] Carlos Baleba (Brighton)[4] Marc Guehi: Liverpool pushing for free-agent summer deal after collapsed £35m move last year; knows Anfield plans well[3]	Mohamed Salah: Linked to Al Hilal, Al-Qadsiah, Fenerbahce, Galatasaray[4] Ibrahima Konate: Attracting Inter Milan, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid; contract enters final six months[3][4]

Context from recent summers: Liverpool lost Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich for £65.5m after his key role in four trophies, including the title; they signed Florian Wirtz for £100m+ (swayed from Bayern by ex-teammate Robert Andrich's plea) and Hugo Ekitike[1][2]. Bayern's interest in Marc Guehi as a free agent intensifies competition, with their director actively pursuing[3]. No major January moves yet, but rumours swirl amid defensive woes.
