Liverpool is for sale and has had the worst Premier League start ever under Jurgen Klopp. It could be essential to perform some winter transfer surgery.
Liverpool has already acquired Cody Gakpo from Manchester United for a reported €57 million, but they most certainly won’t stop there this winter.
In order to close the gap on Arsenal, who now lead the Premier League by 16 points, the Reds will need to work harder. Right now, they are in sixth position.
There will definitely be movement at Anfield this winter, whether the new owner is allowed to make their own decisions or receive a headline signing from the Fenway Sports Group, which has put the team up for sale.
Since he made waves at the age of 19 while playing for both Borussia Dortmund and England, Jude Bellingham has been Liverpool’s top transfer target for a while.
The issue for Klopp and company is that Bellingham’s rise has been so quick that Real Madrid and Manchester City are also vying for his signature. He would be a useful addition to an
Kudus Mohammed
Mohammed Kudus, who was signed by Ajax in 2020 as a central midfielder but has been utilised in attack this season, is a less expensive option to Bellingham, albeit he is not the same talent.
Kudus has scored four goals in six Champions League games. Kudus, who scored twice for Ghana during the World Cup, attempted to push a move to Everton in the summer, but it now appears that he is out of reach for that side of the Merseyside split.
Moukoko Youssoufa
Youssoufa Moukoko, an 18-year-old German striker, is out of contract in June, and Borussia Dortmund has somehow managed to lose sight of the situation after selling Jadon Sancho and Erling Haaland for a combined €145 million in back-to-back summers. Says he loves Dortmund, but not too long ago, neither did Klopp.
Matheus Nunes
Bellingham looks increasingly likely to choose Real Madrid over the Reds, even if he remains a top target for Klopp and Co. But in the event he decides his future is elsewhere, Matheus Nunes has been targeted as a midfield upgrade.
The Wolves and Portugal man can play in more than one midfield position but is getting more expensive by the week.
Randal Kolo Muani
Randal Kolo Muani impressed for France in the World Cup final against Argentina, putting the rest of the world on high alert having impressed Bundesliga observers with his five goals and 10 assists for Eintracht Frankfurt already this season.
His club insist he “is not for sale”, but they are traditionally sellers and Liverpool would be a considerable step up.
Manu Kone
Another, perhaps more under the radar, midfielder in Liverpool’s sights is Borussia Monchengladbach man Manu Kone.
The French youngster has completed more dribbles than any other player in his position in the Bundesliga over the last year and is still only rated at €21m by Football Transfers’ in-house algorithm.

Liverpool close, prepared to agree £52.5m asking fee to sign star – Report
Liverpool focused on midfield in the summer, they must reinforce the defense in winter and the name of Goncalo Inacio is heavily linked.
The Portuguese international may end up leaving Sporting CP in the January transfer window and reports indicate that the Reds are ahead of Barcelona and Real Madrid in the race.
News – Liverpool ‘ready to go into action’, have to pay £30.6million a year for signing – Report
According to Spanish source, Nacional, Liverpool boss, Jurgen Klopp is close to luring Inacio and the Merseysiders are ahead of the La Liga giants to secure his signature.
The Catalan media outlet have mentioned that the Merseysiders are willing to bet hard to hire the services of the Lions star, who has been in top form this season.
It is reported that Liverpool are prepared to pay the asking fee to sign him and O Jogo in Portugal have revealed that the release clause of 60 million euros (£52.5m) must be met.
The Anfield club can not only meet the clause but are also ready to offer him a starting role in the team.
In contrast, Barcelona do not have the financial power to reach the asking price of Sporting CP, on the other hand, Real Madrid cannot promise him a leading role in their already star-studded squad.
Liverpool captain, Virgil van Dijk, is back to his best this season but the veteran is past his prime and so is Joel Matip. On the other hand, Joe Gomez has been inconsistent and injury prone.
Hence, the Reds need to reinforce the central defense with a leader for the future and Goncalo Inacio would be a top signing.
In your opinion, should Liverpool agree the £52.5m asking fee to sign him?
