The three-man Liverpool January signing list was made public.

Three possible additions to Liverpool’s roster have been shortlisted before the January transfer market opens, sources have informed Football Insider.

The Merseyside team’s primary aim is Wolfsburg defender Maxence Lacroix. They are also keeping an eye on Sao Paulo defender Lucas Beraldo and Sporting Lisbon center-back Goncalo Inacio.

Following Joel Matip’s knee injury, Football Insider reported on Friday, December 8, that Liverpool will give priority to signing a new center-back in January.

Matip has sustained an anterior cruciate ligament injury, according to a statement the Merseyside club posted on their website on Wednesday.

Klopp is keen to add a new defender to his defensive lineup in January as the 32-year-old may miss months due to injury.

Liverpool is reportedly keeping an eye on Lacroix, 23, since Klopp is a huge fan of the French defender.

Despite his age, he has already made 113 appearances for Wolfsburg and, when available, has started every Bundesliga game in the 2023–2024 season.

Another defender that Liverpool’s recruitment squad is keeping an eye on is Inacio, a 22-year-old who has emerged as a crucial member of both Sporting and the Portugal national team.

This season, he has made 19 appearances for Sporting in all competitions, including all 12 league games.

At just 20 years old, Beraldo is the youngest possibility for Liverpool and the third name on the list.

With 24 appearances in the 2023 season, he established himself as a staple in Sao Paulo’s first squad after breaking through in 2022.

It’s believed that Sao Paulo will entertain bids for the youthful defender in January.

Hakan Calhanoglu is being pursued by West Ham United, Chelsea, and Liverpool.

Hakan Calhanoglu, 29, of Inter Milan, is a midfield player that Chelsea, Liverpool, and West Ham United would all love to have on their team.

A report from Calciomercato claims that West Ham United, Chelsea, and Liverpool are all interested in hiring Hakan Calhanoglu. Since joining Inter Milan, the 29-year-old has been performing admirably, and his outstanding efforts have not gone unnoticed.

Prior to joining Inter Milan in the summer of 2021, Calhanoglu was a member of AC Milan. Since joining Inter, he has only become better. The club’s defensive midfielder has made appearances in 112 games and has helped contribute to 41 goals.

Over the years, the Turkish international has played every position on the pitch. In his early years, the 29-year-old playmaker was frequently spotted on the wings or up top, but at this point in his career, he likes to play as a holding midfielder or a central midfielder.

With more than three years remaining on his contract, he has been a vital member of Inter Milan’s first team in recent seasons. Nevertheless, he might have to leave them in the summer of next year as Premier League teams try to sign him.

Even though Liverpool added a lot of midfield players over the summer, their transformation is far from finished. With his expertise, Calhanoglu may be a wonderful match as a deep-lying playmaker. They need another defensive midfielder.

Chelsea may be concentrating on acquiring young athletes with enormous potential. To maintain order, they do require some experience among their ranks. Despite having a number of defensive midfielders already, they may still want to sign Calhanoglu because of his versatility in both attacking and centre midfield roles.

West Ham United, meanwhile, has long been a fan of the 29-year-old. They intended to sign him as Lucas Paquetà’s replacement throughout the summer. The Brazilian ultimately decided to remain at the London club, and the Inter midfielder’s singing was abandoned.

The Hammers will seek Calhanoglu, and an offer of about €50 million might get them there regardless of what happens with Paqueta next summer. Even though Inter would prefer to hang onto their star, their financial difficulties are still present. Also, since he was a free agent when he signed with them in the past, his departure might enable them to make a tidy profit.
