Liverpool head coach Arne Slot could see his side add to their ranks this month
Liverpool completed their first signing of the January transfer window last week. Mor Talla Ndiaye links up with the Reds’ U21s ranks from Amitie FC in Senegal.
Liverpool are also in talks with Austria Vienna over another young centre-back, Ifeanyi Ndukwe, with a view to signing him for the summer. The Austria youth international is still just 17, but the Reds are hopeful of striking a deal that can be agreed for Ndukwe to move to Anfield for the start of pre-season training, which will begin in July.
The rumour mill is buzzing with speculation about potential incomings and outgoings at Anfield, and we have rounded up the latest transfer gossip below.

Yan Diomande ‘update’
Yan Diomande revealed last week that it would be a dream come true to play for Liverpool one day. The 19-year-old joined RB Leipzig in the summer from La Liga side Leganes after they activated his €20m release clause.
And after impressing in the Bundesliga, Diomande is being linked with a move away from the Red Bull Arena. The Reds, Tottenham, Manchester United, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain have all been linked with the Ivory Coast international, who is reportedly valued at £86m by Leipzig.
And now it is being claimed by journalist Fabrizio Romano that Diomande will leave Leipzig in a mega-money deal, but no transfer will be sanctioned until the summer window.

Liverpool ‘set Federico Chiesa price tag’
Liverpool want €20m for Federico Chiesa as negotiations with Juventus continue. That’s according to Italian publication Calciomercato.com, who are reporting that the Reds have set Chiesa’s price tag at €20m and are only going to discuss a permanent transfer for the Italian winger.
The report goes on to claim that Juventus are pushing for a loan deal with an option to buy that will become mandatory if certain conditions are met. The Reds signed Chiesa from the Old Lady in August 2024 in an initial £10m deal after he was deemed surplus to requirements by former manager Thiago Motta.
But the Italy international has only made 34 appearances for the Reds to date, returning four goals and four assists. Juve manager Luciano Spalletti, who previously coached Chiesa with Italy, played down such speculation about a move for the Liverpool forward earlier this month.

“I am pleased you are giving me this news, seeing as we haven’t even had a meeting yet on the transfer market,” he said, per Football Italia. “But it’s the first I’ve heard of it. For the moment, it’s just thrown out there, but absolutely nothing concrete behind it.”
Calvin Ramsay ‘decision made’
Liverpool do not intend to allow right-back Calvin Ramsay to leave on loan this month. That’s according to the Daily Mail, who are reporting that Arne Slot wants to keep the full-back so that he can provide another option following Conor Bradley’s knee injury.

Bradley underwent surgery on a season-ending knee injury earlier this week. The Northern Ireland international was carried off in the closing stages of the Reds’ goalless draw at Premier League leaders Arsenal last Thursday.
He faces a race to recover in time for this summer’s World Cup, should his country qualify through the play-offs. Ramsay, meanwhile, is yet to feature in the Premier League for the Reds so far this season.
GOAL! Liverpool 1-0 Man City (Szoboszlai, 74)
HE’S DONE IT AGAIN!
An absolutely sensational free-kick goal from Dominik Szoboszlai. This one might be even better than the one against Arsenal.
From a central position, around 25 yards out, it’s an absolutely sensational hit which swerves out of reach of Donnarumma, who doesn’t even dive, and slams into the net off the post.
Amazing. And what could that mean for the title race? Arsenal staying nine points clear as it stands.

Liverpool FC team news vs. Man City: 6 defenders unavailable for Arne Slot
Liverpool have six defenders unavailable for their game against Man City, with Arne Slot‘s hand forced at centre-back and right-back.
Liverpool are down to their bare bones at the back, with six defenders unable to start as the Reds try to keep pace with their top-four competitors in the Premier League.

Joe Gomez‘s fitness is the main talking point ahead of the match at Anfield, given his presence would provide cover at centre-back and full-back.
He didn’t train on Thursday, though, and Slot explained: “We have a little bit of hope that he might train on Saturday.
“So not available to start, but maybe available to help the team if needed during the game because, as you know, there are not that many defenders available at the moment.”
With Giovanni Leoni out until next season, academy defenders Amara Nallo and Wellity Lucky have made the bench in the Premier League a combined five times this season.
The latter is injured, however, so unable to come in against Man City.
Nallo got injured during Tuesday’s UEFA Youth League exit to MSK Zilina, but was named to start for the U21s on Saturday, meaning he will not be available at Anfield.
As for Lucky’s injury, the 20-year-old is set to be sidelined until April due to a hamstring injury sustained in training midway through January.
Also on Liverpool’s list of absentees is right-back Conor Bradley, who will miss the rest of the campaign.
Like Bradley, Jeremie Frimpong is currently injured but his outlook is more positive than his teammate’s.
Slot gave a brief update on the flying Dutchman’s fitness, saying he “will definitely not train this week” due to his ongoing groin problem.
With Nallo featuring at academy level, Liverpool will be without six defensive options against Man City.
