Liverpool deal done and the three transfers that could still happen on deadline day
Liverpool have so far put up a dismal Premier League title defence but there is still time for them to bolster their squad on deadline day
Arne Slot has only welcomed one new face through the door in the January window so far
Liverpool have been relatively quiet in the transfer window so far as deadline day arrives. But there is still time on the clock for the reigning Premier League champions to strengthen their ranks.
Arne Slot’s side currently sit outside the top four and despite early title hopes, these have all but dwindled. The Reds spent heavily in the summer, parting with nearly £450million to sign the likes of Alexander Isak, Hugo Ekitike and Florian Wirtz.
Such excessive expenditure has meant this winter window has been quiet to date but new developments suggest £55m will soon be spent. That is because a deal for French defender Jeremy Jacquet has been agreed.

Mor Talla Ndiaye confirmed
Liverpool’s summer spending made any serious January business unlikely but with their eyes on the future, they welcomed young Senegal defender Mor Talla Ndiaye early in the window.

It is also worth noting that, as with Jacquet, the Reds have agreed in principle to sign young Austrian defender Ifeanyi Ndukwe from Austria Wien during the upcoming summer window.

Lutsharel Geertruida signed
Concerning potential deals, one that could yet materialise is the signing of current Sunderland star Lutsharel Geertruida. The defender had been targeted by Slot’s side as defensive cover.
However, despite the player being keen on making the move, which would have seen him return to his parent club RB Leipzig before penning a short-term deal at Anfield, this transfer looks dead in the water.

Sunderland have been unable to identify a replacement and therefore did not wish to approve this deal. But things move quickly on deadline day and a last-gasp arrival at the Stadium of Light could reignite this transfer.
With a handful of defenders injured, the versatile Geertruida, who only moved to England in the summer, would provide excellent cover at right-back and centre-back. Though his potential arrival depends on other dominoes falling into place.
Curtis Jones sold
Liverpool could also sanction some outgoings on deadline day and one name mooted for an exit is Curtis Jones. The homegrown talent has less than 18 months left on his current deal.

Jones has played sparingly under Slot this season and was linked with a move away in January to gain substantial first-team minutes. Inter Milan were a reported interested party.
However, the ECHO understands that any exit has now stalled and discussions with other clubs have been halted. Yet, there could be further developments on the last day of the window and an exit can’t be 100 per cent ruled out.
Liverpool
The contract and paperwork are already in place for Liverpool to welcome back Jarell Quansah, who left Merseyside to join Bayer Leverkusen last summer, to help fill out the Reds’ thin defensive ranks
Yes — that claim lines up with multiple transfer-news reports: Liverpool could re-sign 23-year-old England centre-back Jarell Quansah from Bayer Leverkusen in future, thanks to a buy-back clause in the deal that sent him to Germany — but not immediately next season.
🔁 What’s Happening with Quansah and Liverpool
Quansah moved from Liverpool to Bayer Leverkusen in the summer of 2025 for a reported fee around £30m-£35m (plus add-ons), joining the Bundesliga side on a long-term contract.
As part of that transfer, Liverpool inserted a buy-back clause allowing the club to re-sign him in the future for a pre-agreed fee.

However, the clause cannot be activated until the summer of 2027 at the earliest.
TEAM
Reports suggest the buy-back figure could be around £50m-£60m (with potential add-ons increasing the fee), although exact numbers vary across sources.

There are also indications Liverpool have pre-agreed personal terms with Quansah should they trigger the buy-back, smoothing the path for a return.
TEAMtalk
🧠 Context for the Move
Quansah was a Liverpool academy graduate and made senior appearances before leaving, but opted for more first-team football in Germany.
Football Today
With his development in the Bundesliga and Liverpool’s evolving defensive needs, the idea of bringing him back — especially given future departures or ageing defenders — is being discussed in transfer circles.
TEAMtalk
Bottom line: the Football Insider claim that Liverpool could re-sign Quansah later isn’t unfounded — there is a buy-back clause — but any switch is realistically targeted for 2027 or beyond, not next summer.

BREAKING NEWS The Word From Liverpool Is’ – Arne Slot Sack Update Emerges After Man City Defeat
Liverpool manager Arne Slot’s job is believed to be safe for now, despite their recent home defeat against Manchester City on Sunday afternoon, according to journalist David Lynch.
The Reds looked as though they were heading to victory after Dominik Szboszlai fired in a stunning free-kick from range to put his side in front. Late in the game, Bernardo Silva latched onto a headed throughball by Erling Haaland, poking past Alisson Becker to level the scoring.
In the final minutes, Man City were awarded a penalty, and Erling Haaland stepped up to slot into the bottom corner, scoring the winner for Pep Guardiola’s side. City had the ball in the net once again in the dying seconds, but play was brought back for a foul by Szoboszlai, who was sent off after a VAR review.
Arne Slot Safe at Liverpool
According to journalist Lynch, Slot’s job at Liverpool is safe at the moment, but he doesn’t buy into the idea that he can afford endless poor performances and results.
The word from Liverpool is that Arne Slot is safe, but I don’t really buy the idea he can afford endless poor performances and bad results until the end of the season. Today was both, in my opinion. https://t.co/sjMRhibrZK — David Lynch (@davidlynchlfc) February 8, 2026
Liverpool are seemingly willing to stick with Slot for now, which might not be a huge surprise after he won the Premier League title last season. Their achievement in the 2024/2025 campaign undoubtedly carries a lot of weight, with Slot having credit in the bank heading into this campaign.
Results will undoubtedly have to improve, and with one Premier League win in their previous seven games, the pressure is on Slot to turn things around as soon as possible.
Liverpool need to make a decision and soon, as they are in danger of seeing their season drift away from them. The Reds will have been aiming to lift the Premier League title once again, but now, even Champions League qualification is looking like a difficult task.
The mentality to throw away a 1-0 lead against Man City is the biggest disappointment for them, especially as they’ve notoriously been a bogey team for Guardiola at Anfield. The credit in the bank will only last so long, and the board must surely be considering making a change in the near future
If FSG think that 6 wins out of the last 20, a points per game ratio similar to Spurs, behind United, just 2 points ahead of Everton and some dreadful football thrown in means he’s safe, then what would he have to do to be in trouble? FSG must see that he is not the answer. The Kop will decide on Slot’s fate as they did with Hodgson.
The idea having credit in the bank for having a past title, that’s only a rhyme at Lfc. We saw Mourinho being sacked for far less bad results though he is/was a seasoned manager. Had Slot won the CL? At Lfc it is all about the money. They fabricate reasons just not to sign new players. They do the same not to sack.
