Liverpool are set to further bolster their title hopes with a major signing for the January transfer window.
The Reds are flying high at the top of the Premier League table under Arne Slot right now, and it looks like the club are ready to make up for a quiet summer by giving him money to spend in January.
“I don’t think…” – Gary Neville’s HUGE warning to Liverpool!
According to the Spanish channel filesLiverpool could now be prepared to try and offer around €80m for the signing the in-form attacking midfielder Oihan Sancet.
The report claims that Athletic would likely struggle to turn down that kind of money, so it could be enough for LFC to get a deal done, with the talented 24-year-old seemingly identified as a perfect fit for Slot’s side.
Liverpool already have plenty of quality in midfield and attack, but Sancet is a bit more of a No.10 player, so he could give the Merseyside giants a new dimension with his style of play and goal threat from from the center of the park.
What do Liverpool need in the January transfer window?
When you’re nine points clear at the top of your domestic league and also performing superbly in Europe, it can be difficult to know exactly where to strengthen your squad.
Sancet looks like someone who could fit in well at a top-flight club like Liverpool, but it’s also true that there isn’t an obvious need for him, so perhaps €80m could be better spent elsewhere in the squad ?
Liverpool could benefit from a little more depth in defense now that Ibrahima Konate is injured, while it might also be smart to consider Virgil van Dijk possibly leaving on a free transfer next summer if he doesn’t accept a new contract soon.
Andrew Robertson also looks a little past his best, so a new left back could also make sense as more of a priority for Liverpool than an attacking midfielder?
