Liverpool remain top of the Premier League though Saturday’s draw with Fulham will have them looking over their shoulder.The January transfer window will offer the chance for Arne Slot to bolster his squad for the rest of the title race. But he is also having to deal with the potential exits of Mo Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold.
The trio are all out of contract in the summer, with no official news yet of a new deal for any of them. With the chance that they might leave, it appears Liverpool are now searching for replacements.
Alexander-Arnold is keen to keep his situation out of the limelight, in contrast to Salah, who has publicly stated his frustration at owners FSG. Here, Mirror Football rounds up all the latest Liverpool transfer news.
Liverpool have reportedly made contact with Bayern Munich star Leroy Sane over a potential move to Anfield as doubts grown over Mo Salah’s future at Anfield.
Salah will become a free agent in the summer, as will Sane.According to BILD, the Reds see Sane as a potential replacement for their star Egyptian should he depart. The German previously spent four years at Manchester City and has earned 67 caps for his national teams.
Lyon star Rayan Cherki has refused to rule out a move away from the Ligue 1 side in the near future, with Liverpool thought to be monitoring the 21-year-old. Cherki has starred for Lyon, scoring 22 goals and notching 31 assists in 157 appearances across all competitions.He only signed a 12-month contract extension in September, tying him down until June 2026.
But Lyon are in dire financial straits and could well look to sell to raise funds, a situation Cherki appears to have accepted.“We’ll see at the end of the season if I’m still here or not,” the attacking midfielder bluntly replied when asked about his future after Lyon beat Eintracht Frankfurt 3-2 in the Europa League.
