Liverpool is reportedly close to finalizing two transfers before the conclusion of the January transfer window, particularly concerning Jorrel Hato.

However, prospects for a last-minute signing appear bleak.

Jamie Carragher has indicated that Liverpool manager Arne Slot possesses substantial financial resources for transfers, yet he does not foresee any significant acquisitions occurring before the window closes.

Slot has made a remarkable impact in his first season at Anfield, guiding the team to the top of both the Premier League and Champions League standings without relying on major signings since succeeding Jurgen Klopp.

The most notable additions to the squad have been Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, whose £29 million transfer has been postponed until the summer, and Euro 2020 champion Federico Chiesa, acquired for a modest £10 million, although injuries have restricted his playtime to just 190 minutes.

Despite the typical buzz surrounding January transfers, there has been minimal discussion regarding new players at Anfield, largely due to the current squad’s depth and performance.

During The Overlap’s Fan Debate Transfer Special, Carragher expressed his views on Liverpool’s strategy, suggesting that fans anticipating a surprise signing may be let down.

He remarked, “I firmly believe that coaches can enhance player performance.

While we often get excited about transfers and desire improvements, when you observe Slot’s influence—[Ryan] Gravenberch, Luis Diaz, and [Cody] Gakpo all appear transformed.

Some of these players were signed 18 months ago, yet they now look entirely different.”

Considering Liverpool’s history of acquiring only one player over the past three transfer windows, a Sky Sports pundit has suggested that Slot likely has a significant transfer budget available for future acquisitions, as reported by the Mirror. He remarked, “It’s clear that since Liverpool hasn’t made any signings this window and didn’t make many in the summer, there must be a considerable amount of money set aside for potential purchases, possibly next summer.”

The pundit also inquired with The Athletic’s David Ornstein for any updates, expressing that he was not aware of any plans from Liverpool to make moves before the approaching Monday deadline. It appears increasingly likely that Slot will conserve his available funds for now.

One player rumored to be on Liverpool’s radar is Dutch defender Jorrel Hato, who was seen during Saturday’s 4-1 win against Ipswich Town.

Speculation indicates that the 18-year-old Ajax talent, valued at approximately £25 million, was a guest of Gravenberch.
