LiverpoolTop Liverpool Transfer Targets for January 2025/26

. Marc Guéhi (Crystal Palace, CB)

 

 

 

Liverpool are very interested in Guéhi to strengthen their central defense.

 

 

 

According to reports, Liverpool had a deal lined up before but it collapsed; January could be another opportunity.

 

 

 

However: some sources say Liverpool may not pay a large fee — instead, they could wait or negotiate carefully.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. Antoine Semenyo (Bournemouth, Forward/Winger)

 

 

 

Fabrizio Romano says there’s a ~60% chance of a January move for Semenyo, via a release clause.

 

 

 

He represents an attacking option: pace, strength, and goal threat.

 

 

 

The clause is reportedly “£60 million + £5m in add-ons.”

 

 

 

Risk: That’s a big price for a winter move, and it’s unclear how much Liverpool prioritize this over defensive targets.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. Eduardo Camavinga (Real Madrid, Midfielder)

 

 

 

According to reports, Liverpool are planning to invest heavily, and Camavinga is one of their top midfield targets.

 

 

 

He’s still young, talented, and could provide dynamism in midfield.

 

 

 

Challenge: Real Madrid may be reluctant to sell a player of his quality, plus the transfer fee could be very high.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. Vitinha (Paris Saint-Germain, Midfielder)

 

 

 

Another name in Liverpool’s plans, per the same reports: they see him as a potential No. 6 or “engine-room” midfielder.

 

 

 

Strengths: technical ability, good on the ball, creative potential.

 

 

 

Risk: PSG are not known to let top midfielders go cheaply, and this would likely be a major outlay.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5. Alessandro Bastoni (Inter Milan, Centre-Back)

 

 

 

Also in Liverpool’s reported January wishlist: Bastoni is seen as a long-term defensive investment.

 

 

 

Pros: left-footed centre-back, good on the ball, solid defensive profile.

 

 

 

Cons: Inter may not want to sell mid-season; also, cost could be prohibitive.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

6. Rodrygo (Real Madrid, Winger/Forward)

 

 

 

Football Whispers lists Rodrygo as a possible Liverpool target for January.

 

 

 

He’d offer an attacking, creative presence from wide or central areas.

 

 

 

But: Real Madrid are very unlikely to let go of him easily; this would be a blockbuster move.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

7. Antonee Robinson (Fulham, Left-Back)

 

 

 

A more “realistic” defensive target: Liverpool might look at Robinson as left-back cover.

 

 

 

Pros: experienced, good in defense, decent going forward.

 

 

 

Risks: Fulham may demand a significant fee, and he’s not necessarily a long-term elite-level signing.

⚠️ Key Risks & Strategic Challenges for Liverpool

 

 

 

Big Spending in Winter: Reports suggest Liverpool may spend £200+ million in January. That’s aggressive for a winter window, and could destabilize finances or squad balance.

 

 

 

Contract Situations: For some targets like Guéhi, contract status matters. Palace may prefer to wait, or hold out for more.

 

 

 

Competition: Big names like Bastoni, Camavinga, Rodrygo are not easy buys — other clubs will be competing.

 

 

 

Squad Fit: Even if they sign, integrating mid-season for top-level targets is tricky. Arne Slot will need to ensure new signings don’t disrupt cohesion.

✅ My Assessment: Most Likely Targets

 

 

 

Guéhi and Semenyo feel like the most plausible January targets right now, based on reports.

 

 

 

Camavinga and Vitinha are very attractive, but more “strategic long-term” than immediate fixes.

 

 

 

Bastoni is probably a stretch — but if Liverpool decide to push, he’s a key candidate.

 

 

 

Rodrygo seems unlikely unless there’s a huge offer — more summer than winter.

 

 

 

Robinson is a sensible, lower-risk defensive cover option.
