Liverpool have made a near-perfect start to the 2024-25 season, with the Premier League title within reach. While the Reds are playing well, a few smart signings could help them turn things around and head towards a successful end to the season.
Liverpool have been linked with a number of stars but it remains to be seen whether they will make a big investment. In addition, the "Red Brigade" leadership also needs to resolve the future of some pillars.
Virgil van Dijk, Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold are all out of contract in the summer, with January being Liverpool's last chance to resolve the futures of the trio.
Alexander-Arnold has been linked with Real Madrid but Liverpool have rejected Los Blancos' offer. Meanwhile, Salah and Van Dijk are both prioritising contract extensions rather than looking for a way out.
So, what will Slot's squad look like after the January transfer window closes?
Starting in the goalkeeper position, Alisson Becker is certainly still the number 1 choice. It is very difficult for Liverpool to replace the Brazilian goalkeeper because Giorgi Mamardashvili will arrive after this season.
In defence, Virgil van Dijk and Alexander-Arnold are both important pillars for Liverpool. They will try to keep this duo for the near future.
Meanwhile, Bayer Leverkusen's Piero Hincapie is a long-term target for the Reds at centre-back. Hincapie is also capable of playing out wide, providing another option. Of course, Andrew Robertson remains the priority on the left flank.
With Ryan Gravenberch's performances this season, Liverpool may not need much reinforcement in midfield, but the Anfield club are still in touch with Martin Zubimendi, who came close to moving to Anfield last summer.
Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai and Curtis Jones are all in good form, but Slot could also consider adding new options. They need squad depth as they compete in both the Premier League and Champions League.
Up front, Cody Gakpo has been in great form this season and seems to have secured a place on the left wing, while Luis Diaz is also providing much-needed competition for Gakpo.
On the opposite flank, Salah's position is irreplaceable. The Egyptian player has had a great season so far.
Eintracht Frankfurt star Omar Marmoush is being closely watched by Liverpool given his impressive goalscoring form.
The striker has 18 goals this season and would add to Slot's attacking options, especially with questions still lingering over Darwin Nunez's long-term future at Anfield.
Potential Liverpool squad: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk, Hincapie, Robertson, Gravenberch, Zubimendi, Mac Allister, Salah, Marmoush, Gakpo.
