"The Reds spent more than any Premier League side ever has in one window just a few months ago, splurging nearly £450 million ($606 million) on six new additions. However, there has been little return on that investment and injuries look set to force the English champions back into the market. Alexander Isak's British record £125 million move from Newcastle headlined Liverpool's summer spending spree, but the Swede is set for at least two months on the sidelines with a broken leg."
"Despite splashing out around £300 million on forwards in the summer window, Arne Slot's attacking options are currently threadbare with Mohamed Salah also absent at the Africa Cup of Nations. Salah's future remains uncertain following his public outburst at being dropped by Slot and should the Egyptian depart, Liverpool will be in the market for a replacement."
The Premier League transfer window is open until February 2, with clubs targeting additions to pursue the title, qualify for the Champions League, or avoid relegation. Liverpool spent nearly £450 million on six players in the summer but face limited returns, injuries and absences that may force further spending. Alexander Isak is sidelined for months with a broken leg, and Mohamed Salah is at the Africa Cup of Nations and faces an uncertain future after a public outburst. Aston Villa are constrained by financial sustainability rules yet must strengthen Unai Emery's squad after an 11-game winning run was halted by a 4-1 defeat at Arsenal. Last January’s loan moves provided significant improvement despite limited headroom.
