Liverpool transfer confirmed with £22m alternative for Andy Robertson ‘found’
Share
Liverpool did not make any signings in the January transfer window, but rumors continue regarding potential summer acquisitions.
The January transfer period ended without any new additions to Arne Slot’s squad. Despite links to players like Santiago Gimenez and Stefanos Tzimas, neither moved to Anfield.
However, Slot’s team is in a strong position to finish the season with trophies. Liverpool currently holds a six-point lead at the top of the Premier League, with a game in hand over second-place Arsenal. The Reds are also still active in European and domestic cup competitions.
The departure of young goalkeeper Fabian Mrozek was confirmed following Monday’s deadline. Mrozek, who spent last season with Swedish club IF Brommapojkarna, has now joined National League side Forest Green Rovers.
The 21-year-old, who joined Liverpool’s academy in 2020 from FC Wroclaw, is also a Poland youth international. Though he has been part of Liverpool’s matchday squad, he has yet to make his senior debut.
Mrozek was on the bench for Europa League matches against Royale Union Saint-Gilloise and Sparta Praha last season but will now gain senior football experience at Forest Green.
Meanwhile, reporter David Lynch has suggested that Liverpool is keeping an eye on Girona defender Miguel Gutierrez as a potential replacement for Andy Robertson. The 23-year-old Spaniard, a product of Real Madrid’s academy, is reportedly considered an alternative to Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez.
Gutierrez is valued at €27.6 million (around £22 million). However, since Girona is owned by the City Group, the same entity that owns Manchester City, it is uncertain whether they would be willing to negotiate with Liverpool.

Darwin Nunez angry as Liverpool ‘halt £70m transfer’
Liverpool have made a bold move in the transfer market by rejecting a substantial £70 million bid from Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr for striker Darwin Nunez. The Uruguayan forward, however, is reportedly unhappy with the decision.
According to sources (via The Sun), Nunez had been open to negotiations with Al Nassr, the club where Cristiano Ronaldo plays. However, Liverpool swiftly rejected the offer, making it clear that Nunez was not available for sale.
In response, Al Nassr shifted their focus to Aston Villa’s Jhon Duran, successfully completing a £64 million deal for the Colombian forward instead.
Nunez’s frustration increased when he was omitted from Liverpool’s squad for their Champions League loss to PSV. Nonetheless, manager Arne Slot quickly explained that Nunez’s absence was due to illness rather than any transfer-related issues.
This season, Nunez has scored six goals and provided four assists in 29 appearances. Although his performances have been inconsistent, he has had standout moments, such as a crucial last-minute brace in a 2-0 win over Brentford.
Liverpool paid £85 million to acquire him from Benfica in 2022, and his future at Anfield is still unclear. Reports suggest the club may revisit his situation in the summer, potentially opening the door for a move.
Currently, Nunez is back in training and has traveled with the squad for their upcoming Premier League match against Bournemouth. It remains to be seen if Arne Slot will include him in the starting lineup after the recent drama.
With the transfer window now closed, speculation may quiet for the time being. However, one thing is clear: this won’t be the last we hear about Darwin Nunez’s future.
