Five players are predicted to join Liverpool in January if Jürgen Klopp repeats Luis Díaz deal

Liverpool has completed transactions in the last two winter windows, but it does not anticipate a busy January. Here, we examine five individuals that bookmakers are tipping.

The rumours are getting unbelievably intense as the next transfer window draws closer. Like any major team, Liverpool is frequently connected to a wide range of players. While some rumours are partially true, most of the time these connections are, to put it mildly, shaky.

Liverpool has done some business during the previous few winter windows. In the winter of 2022, Luis Díaz from Porto and Cody

Liverpool has done some business during the previous few winter windows. In winter 2022, Luis Díaz from Porto and Cody Gakpo from PSV signed contracts, respectively, one year apart. In January, Jürgen Klopp is infamous for not liking to do business, but occasionally, agreements must be made in order to fend off rivals.

Despite the fact that Joël Matip will be out for the remainder of the season due to injury, Klopp has downplayed the likelihood of Liverpool entering the transfer market this winter. It is also unclear if the team would sign another midfield player given how many players they let go in the summer. But there is room to act if a genuine chance arises that is too good to miss.

The availability of opportunities throughout the window and the injury status of Liverpool’s roster will play major roles. Here, we examine five players who have been connected to a January move to Anfield and the likelihood that such a deal will materialise, based on information from the website Betting Sites (odds are for entertainment purposes only).

Piero Hincapié (5/2 odds)

Liverpool would be wise to select the 21-year-old Ecuadorian, who plays both left and centre back for Bundesliga team Bayer Leverkusen. His adaptability might be a great help to Klopp, particularly when first-choice left-back Andy Robertson isn’t available, as he is right now. Nonetheless, Hincapié’s deal with the German team doesn’t terminate until the conclusion of the 2026–2027 campaign.

João Palhinha (5/1)

A familiar face to Liverpool supporters. Palhinha has performed admirably since joining Fulham in the summer of 2022. and has been rumoured to be leaving the west London team for months, but he is still at Fulham. Palhinha may be the midfield player Liverpool needs, if they need one. The main drawback for the 28-year-old Portuguese midfielder is his age. Liverpool has downplayed the likelihood of a transfer, with Bayern Munich being the more likely destination.

Assane Diao (5/1)

Although the Real Betis attacker is only eighteen, Klopp and Liverpool may find him appealing because he can play several places along the front line. Born in Senegal but currently playing for Spain, Diao is probably a player for the future rather than a January acquisition, especially considering Liverpool’s glut of attacking skill. In ten La Liga appearances this season for Betis, Diao has two goals.

Jamal Musiala (8/1)

It’s intriguing that the forward for Bayern Munich is being linked to a move to Liverpool, even if it seems unlikely that he would leave the defending Bundesliga winners anytime soon. This season, Musiala has had difficulty finding playing time at Bayern; he has only started 43% of the team’s Bundesliga games (albeit this is only partially due to a few injuries).

Musiala’s contract doesn’t expire until the summer of 2026, so Liverpool would have to pay a high price to sign him if he were to depart. It seems improbable that he would leave Bayern in January, although leaving in the summer would be slightly more feasible.

Pedro Neto (9/1)

Liverpool would likely find the Wolves forward enticing since he can play on either wing. Although Neto has only scored one goal in his ten Premier League outings this season, the 23-year-old has nevertheless contributed eight assists to the Midlands team. He has Premier League experience and has been impressive for a while.

Because of the Diogo Jota trade in 2020, Liverpool and Wolves have a great working connection, hence Neto, another Portuguese forward, might be added to the roster. Once more, it’s unclear if a settlement will be reached in January; it could be wiser to wait until the summer.
