As 2024 comes to a close, attention will soon shift to the January transfer window—though Liverpool fans might not be looking forward to the new year.
Arne Slot’s team is currently thriving in both the Premier League and Champions League, sitting at the top in both competitions. However, there are significant off-field issues that need addressing.
Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Mohamed Salah are all set to become free agents at the season’s end. With less than two months until they’re eligible to negotiate pre-contracts with overseas clubs, Liverpool and FSG must quickly secure their futures. According to reports from Spain, one of these players might even leave before their contract expires.
Spanish outlet Defensa Central claims Liverpool is ready to propose a January swap deal involving Trent Alexander-Arnold and Real Madrid’s Aurelien Tchouameni, with Alexander-Arnold valued at $27m (£21m/€25m) plus a player in exchange, likely Tchouameni.
Real Madrid is rumored to be growing impatient with the French midfielder, and Liverpool, who previously showed interest in him back in 2022, may look to reignite their pursuit.
The new Liverpool home kit for the 2024/2025 season, featuring a chrome yellow pattern inspired by the iconic ’84 shirt, is now available.
That season saw Liverpool secure their fourth European Cup and become the first English club to win a treble of major trophies.
Additionally, Inter Live reports that Liverpool has made it clear they’ll reject any January offers for Federico Chiesa, despite recent speculation about a possible return to Italy.
Inter Milan and Roma have reportedly spoken with Chiesa’s agent, as the winger has struggled since joining Liverpool in the summer and has been out for the last nine matches due to injury. Arne Slot acknowledged Chiesa’s difficulty adjusting to the squad but expects him back in training soon.
Liverpool.com says: It wouldn’t look great if Chiesa returned to Italy so soon after arriving on Merseyside. He needs to adapt quickly and start making an impact with the team.
