Liverpool Transfer News LIVE - January Window Updates

Liverpool FC gears up for a potentially busy January transfer window amid defensive vulnerabilities and uncertainty over Mohamed Salah's future, with plans accelerating for a centre-back, winger, and central midfielder.[3]

Defensive Reinforcements: Marc Guehi and Alternatives

Marc Guehi remains a top target after Liverpool nearly signed him for £35m last summer, only for Crystal Palace to pull out at the deadline. The Reds gave him a medical and stay keen, though reluctant to overpay as his contract nears its end.[3] YouTube speculation highlights Guehi alongside Schlatterbeck as a January option if Guehi waits until summer.[1]

Winger Hunt Amid Salah Drama

Mohamed Salah's bombshell interview has reignited Saudi interest, though no official bids have arrived yet—focus shifts to summer. Arne Slot restored him to the squad, but his AFCON stint could delay decisions.[3] Potential replacements include Antoine Semenyo, linked amid Liverpool's background interest,[3] Kareem Adeyemi (with a reported £17m offer to Dortmund),[2] and a "pacey winger" or "world-class" option to match Salah's goals.[1]

Attack and Midfield Needs

Up front, a clinical striker is eyed for depth under Slot,[1] while midfield plans paused after Martin Zubimendi's rejection and Ryan Gravenberch's form as No. 6. Wataru Endo has limited starts.[3] Youth like Nyoni faces loan talks with no rush, held in high regard.[2]

Contract Watch

Ibrahima Konate attracts Real Madrid interest but Liverpool push for a new deal within wage limits. Andy Robertson stays relaxed as his contract expires soon.[3]

After £200m+ summer spend, FSG must act decisively to bolster Slot's squad amid a tough season.[1][3] (Word count: 298)
