Liverpool’s January transfer plans hinge on Darwin Nunez’s future and squad needs
Every week, Liverpool FC fans send in questions, and this week, the focus is on the title race and transfer market. One big question is whether Liverpool will make any signings, especially with injuries piling up after the holidays.
The priority seems to be finding some backup for Ryan Gravenberch in midfield. Liverpool is known for being opportunistic in the transfer market, so if a good deal comes along, they might jump on it. But they won’t make moves just for the sake of it.
There’s also talk about needing to sell a player before bringing someone new in, especially at left-back. If they want to sign a new left-back, they might need to let go of either Andy Robertson or Kostas Tsimikas first.
Looking ahead, it seems like Liverpool might need a left-back, a holding midfielder, and a striker by 2025. There’s interest from Saudi Arabia in Darwin Nunez, but it’s unclear if he’d be interested in leaving.
Injuries haven’t hit Liverpool too hard this season, with only a few key players like Alisson Becker and Diogo Jota missing time. Losing Gravenberch would be a worry, but the team has managed to keep players fresh.
As for Nunez, he’s been with Liverpool for over two years, and fans are still waiting for him to hit his stride. He needs consistent playing time and to convert chances to really make an impact.
If Liverpool gets a solid offer for him, it might make sense to let him go and find someone who fits better with the team’s style. He could thrive in a different league, but it’s been tough for him at Anfield.
Despite dropping points against Nottingham Forest, Liverpool is still in a good position in the title race. Arsenal is chasing them, but Liverpool has a solid lead. It would take a lot for the standings to change significantly, so fans can still feel hopeful.
