Liverpool Football Club have maintained a notably subdued presence during the January transfer window, yet as the deadline rapidly approaches, there remain several potential deals that could still be completed by the reigning Premier League champions. Despite substantial summer investment, manager Arne Slot's squad finds itself outside the top four, with initial title hopes having largely faded. The Reds' significant outlay of nearly £450 million on players like Alexander Isak, Hugo Ekitike, and Florian Wirtz has contributed to a quieter winter market, though recent reports indicate a £55 million commitment is imminent following an agreement for French defender Jeremy Jacquet.
Potential Arrivals and Departures Before the Deadline
While Liverpool have already secured one signing in January, the club's focus on future prospects has led to strategic moves. Mirror Football explores three key transfers that might still materialise as the clock ticks down on deadline day, examining both potential incomings and outgoings at Anfield.
Mor Talla Ndiaye Confirmed as Future Prospect
Liverpool's summer spending spree made extensive January activity unlikely, but the club has continued to invest in young talent. Earlier in the window, they secured young Senegal defender Mor Talla Ndiaye from Amitie FC in a deal believed to be worth around £1 million. The 18-year-old, who impressed at last year's Under-17 World Cup, will join the club's Under-21 squad. This follows a similar pattern to the Jeremy Jacquet agreement, with the Reds also having reached an agreement in principle to sign young Austrian centre-back Ifeanyi Ndukwe from Austria Wien in the upcoming summer transfer window.
Lutsharel Geertruida Signing Possibility
One potential transfer that could still come to fruition involves Sunderland star Lutsharel Geertruida. The defender had been identified by Slot's team as a defensive reinforcement, with the player reportedly eager to make the switch. The proposed deal would have seen him return to his parent club RB Leipzig before signing a short-term contract at Anfield, but it appears to have stalled due to Sunderland's inability to find a replacement. However, with several Liverpool defenders currently sidelined through injury, the versatile Geertruida could offer valuable backup at right-back and centre-half. Deadline day developments could revive this transfer if other pieces fall into place.
Curtis Jones and Andrew Robertson Departure Rumours
Liverpool might also sanction some departures before the window closes. Academy graduate Curtis Jones has been linked with a January exit to secure regular first-team football, with Inter Milan among the rumoured suitors. The midfielder has featured infrequently under Slot this season and has fewer than 18 months remaining on his contract. While talks with other clubs have reportedly been suspended, deadline day could bring new developments.
Another potential departure involves Andrew Robertson, one of Liverpool's most dedicated servants. The left-back has found himself behind Milos Kerkez in the pecking order, and Tottenham had expressed interest in securing him as backup due to their injury concerns. Liverpool were unable to approve a transfer previously, but with Robertson's contract expiring at season's end, the club might consider a late move to recoup funds rather than risk losing him on a free transfer.
As the transfer deadline approaches, Liverpool's activity remains uncertain but potentially significant. The club's strategic focus on future prospects and squad management could lead to last-minute moves that shape their season and beyond.
