Analysing and debating what to expect from Liverpool in the January transfer window - who could they sign and who might depart?
Tuesday 31 December 2019 13:09, UK
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has said he is open to making signings in January, with the club "always ready" in the transfer market.
"We are pretty much always ready - if we can do something which helps us, we will try to do it. If not we will not."
Liverpool have already secured the signing of Takumi Minamino, who will join from Red Bull Salzburg on January 1.
It was a quiet summer for Liverpool, making just three signings. Adrian arrived on a free transfer while youngsters Harvey Elliott and Sepp van den Berg joined from Fulham and PEC Zwolle respectively.
Alberto Moreno and Daniel Sturridge were released - eventually joining Villarreal and Trabzonspor respectively - while Ryan Kent moved to Rangers on a permanent deal for £7.5m. Bobby Duncan also left for Fiorentina (£1.8m), Rafael Camacho joined Sporting Lisbon (£5m) while Harry Wilson made a loan move to Bournemouth.

"Liverpool have wanted to sign a new versatile forward and it appears they have their man in Takumi Minamino from RB Salzburg for a seemingly bargain price of £7.25m.
"Other than that, the Reds are open to anything that can improve on what they have got, but with a Champions League-winning squad and one on course for a first Premier League title, that leaves their options very limited.
"In terms of outgoings, young striker Rhian Brewster is available for loan and there have been a number of inquiries already, including from Swansea in the Championship. Aston Villa are also keen.
"Nathaniel Clyne is also available again with his injury recovery close to completion and a return to training pencilled in for next month."
