"Liverpool will be praying for the January transfer window to come around. That's not a sentence anyone would have expected to write just a few months ago, after the Reds broke the British transfer record twice to bring in world-class talents like Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak. But their recruitment hasn't quite clicked yet, and Arne Slot's side have already racked up five losses in 11 outings."
"Liverpool sold the 23-year-old to the Bees in the summer of 2024 for a 27.5m package, and included a reported 17.5 per cent sell-on clause as part of the deal. Reports from journalist Florian Plettenberg at the end of last month revealed that the Portuguese attacker was definitely going to leave the Gtech Community Stadium this winter, with a permanent sale being considered."
Liverpool paid record fees to sign Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak but the new arrivals have not solved the team's problems. Arne Slot's side have suffered five defeats in 11 matches, prompting consideration of further signings in the January window. Heavy summer spending leaves the club in need of added budgetary flexibility. A potential source of income evaporated when Brentford confirmed Fabio Carvalho suffered an ACL injury that will rule him out for the season and prevent a winter transfer. Liverpool included a reported 17.5 per cent sell-on clause in Carvalho's sale, so the injury will limit expected transfer revenue.
