The latest Liverpool transfer news and rumours ahead of what could be a hectic January window…
- Marc Guehi pursuit: Liverpool remain the frontrunners to sign the Crystal Palace defender after a summer deadline-day move collapsed. It has been suggested by The Daily Mail that the Reds might prefer to wait until the summer to get him on a free transfer – although the club’s current defensive injury crisis could force an earlier bid.
- Antoine Semenyo competition: Liverpool are expected to rival Man City for in-demand Bournemouth star Antoine Semenyo, according to The Daily Mail. While City are currently seen as clear favourites, Liverpool remain said to still be in the mix as they look for versatile attacking depth following Alexander Isak’s injury.
- James McConnell recall: Midfielder James McConnell has been recalled from his loan at Ajax early. The club expect significant loan interest from English clubs for the 21-year-old during the January window.
- James Norris departure: 22-year-old left-back James Norris is in advanced discussions regarding a transfer to Irish side Shelbourne after a successful loan spell there earlier this year, according to The Athletic.
- Joel Ordonez shortlist: Club Brugge defender Joel Ordonez has emerged as a key target on a five-man shortlist of central defenders – according to bolavip. Liverpool are reportedly now the “favourites” for his signature after Chelsea withdrew their interest.
- Federico Chiesa exit rumours: Juventus are monitoring Federico Chiesa’s situation. The Italy winger has struggled to break into Arne Slot’s starting XI, but the Reds are yet to be approached over a deal ahead of the New Year.
