A reliable report has shed light on what Liverpool\u2019s intentions are regarding incomings in the January window at a time when links to two players refuse to go away.<\/p>\n
Liverpool<\/a> spent colossal sums last summer, though it\u2019s important to remember they did recoup significant fees from the sales of Caoimhin Kelleher, Jarell Quansah, Tyler Morton, Ben Doak, Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez, to name just six.<\/p>\n As such, the Reds do still have the financial capability to spend heavily next month, with the latest from The Athletic<\/a> confirming as much.<\/p>\n The report read: \u2018Profit and sustainability rules are an ongoing concern for every club, but Liverpool are well-positioned, given they generated up to \u00a3260million from sales in the last window and have continued to strengthen their books through huge commercial deals as well as competing in the Champions League.\u2019<\/p>\n Amid a lack of depth at centre-back, Liverpool continue to be linked with moving for Crystal Palace\u2019s Marc Guehi<\/a> in January.<\/p>\n Further forward, the injury to Alexander Isak and absence of Mohamed Salah during AFCON has prompted reports from The Telegraph about Liverpool hijacking Manchester City\u2019s move for Antoine Semenyo<\/a>.<\/p>\n But per The Athletic\u2019s Gregg Evans and James Pearce \u2013 who both specialise in covering Liverpool \u2013 the expectation is the Reds won\u2019t sign anyone in January.<\/p>\n There is an acceptance at Anfield that Liverpool are light, both at centre-back and in attack given current absences.<\/p>\n However, the club are content to wait for Guehi who\u2019ll be available via free agency in the summer. And regarding Semenyo, Liverpool do NOT expect Salah to depart next month, meaning \u2018there wouldn\u2019t be a space in the squad [for Semenyo] to fill.\u2019<\/p>\n Isak\u2019s injury will sideline the striker for up to three months, meaning the Swede will return for the latter stages of Liverpool\u2019s season.<\/p>\n As such, and despite growing links to new strikers, the expectation is Liverpool won\u2019t move for a new No 9 in January.<\/p>\n Doing so would leave Liverpool with three strikers vying for one spot when Isak returns, and Liverpool are not a club who make panic, short-term buys.<\/p>\n So\u2026 will Liverpool make any deals?<\/p>\n Harvey Elliott could return from his disastrous loan spell at Aston Villa<\/a>. There is no recall clause in his deal, however, meaning the two clubs must negotiate the return from scratch.<\/p>\n
