Liverpool’s great season is creating a lot of hype around the team. Despite the fact that many did not expect such outstanding performances, this team not only claims to be in the top four, but is also participating in the fight for the title. However, the approaching January transfer window requires attention. The situation at the club is complicated by a series of injuries. The losses of Joel Matip and Andy Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas create significant holes in the defence. In addition, the departure of Mohamed Salah and Wataru Endo for the African Cup of Nations and Asian Cup leaves the team without two key players. And although Liverpool are not very active in January transfers, the management has been successful in signing players during this time (Virgil van Dijk, Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo and others). This shows that the club is capable of making important and effective moves in the market. All things considered, let’s take a look at 5 potential players who could bolster the Reds’ squad in the January transfer window to help them compete for the coveted trophy.

Pierrot Incapier (Bayer Leverkusen)
Bayer Leverkusen have been really impressive this season and Piero Incapiere looks like a potential option to bolster Liverpool’s defence.
However, despite Liverpool’s wishes, Bayer Leverkusen are not particularly interested in selling players during the winter transfer window. After all, they are in an excellent position in the Bundesliga, and keeping key parts of the team will help them maintain their leadership, especially given the struggle against Bayern. The 21-year-old is not a regular for Leverkusen this season and a possible offer of €50 million could be the subject of discussion among the German club’s management, even if Xabi Alonso may be against the transfer.
Gonçalo Inácio (Sporting)
His potential has not only attracted the attention of the Reds, but also other clubs such as Arsenal and Real Madrid, the latter of which is experiencing squad problems due to injuries to key players. Inácio, a 22-year-old defender, is a regular starter for Sporting and has already proven himself at international level with Portugal.
Liverpool could face financial hurdles given the player’s release clause, estimated at $60 million. This could make Inacio’s move from Sporting to Liverpool quite difficult, especially given the interest of other big clubs in the player.
Archie Gray (Leeds)
Leeds’ Archie Gray represents another interesting option for Liverpool in the January transfer window. His versatility opens up interesting prospects, such as the possibility of using 17-year-old Gray at right-back, which could provide competition for Trent Alexander-Arnold.
However, Leeds will be keen to retain the player, especially as they look to return to the Premier League. A possible option would be for Gray to be signed by Liverpool and then loaned back to Leeds for the remainder of the season. This will allow the player to develop within his current team and gain experience, while also benefiting Liverpool by preparing them for future challenges.
Joao Palinha (Fulham)
In the past, the Reds were unable to sign the player due to the high price offered by Fulham – £55 million. Nothing has changed since the summer transfer window and Pagliña still seems closer to Bayern Munich, where he almost moved on the final day of the transfer window.
However, if Liverpool are interested in an experienced and proven midfielder who already has Premier League experience and could strengthen Jurgen Klopp’s starting line-up. Pagliña would be an ideal candidate.
Anthony Robinson (Fulham)
Liverpool’s left-back situation could lead to possible interest in Fulham’s Anthony Robinson. While Joe Gomez has shown versatility and good performances in a variety of defensive positions for the Reds, using him as a stop-gap solution at left-back is unlikely to be the long-term plan. Robinson, having enjoyed a superb season at Fulham, scoring three times in 21 appearances across various competitions, could be of interest to Liverpool. However, the player’s move from Fulham to Liverpool could face some challenges given Robinson’s contract extension until 2028 and his previous link with Everton.
