Liverpool could yet make another signing in January if they decide their squad needs strengthening, despite their huge spending across the past two summer transfer windows.

[p]The [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/liverpool/lId4TMwf/"]Reds[/a] have invested heavily across 2025 and 2026, making major outlays on a succession of high-profile signings. However, their start to this season has not been as consistent as expected, with concerns emerging over aspects of the side.[/p][p]Sources say Liverpool will keep open the possibility of returning to the market in January if they decide it is necessary or appropriate.[/p][p][b]It would not be another blockbuster signing or a repeat of the huge fees committed to their recent superstar arrivals, but we understand there would be funds available to make an addition if the club believes the right player can address a problem in the squad.[/b][/p][p]Liverpool's recruitment over the past 18 months has already transformed the group, with [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/isak-alexander/p41IV42c/"]Alexander Isak[/a], [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/wirtz-florian/0Q5gjImi/"]Florian Wirtz[/a] and [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/barcola-bradley/lhGD3RgS/"]Bradley Barcola[/a] among the major investments made around the first-team squad.[/p][p]It is more likely Liverpool might tweak the midfield or defence if they were to add another player. The additions of [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/araujo-ronald/M3sbJix9/"]Ronald Araujo[/a] and [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/jacquet-jeremy/h0WK6DL4/"]Jeremy Jacquet[/a] to the side have proved helpful, but the early weeks of the season have provided reasons for the club to continue assessing the balance of the team. [/p][embed guid="280f28b3-7b7e-4d51-803c-1fff84189bef" url="https://x.com/JamesPearceLFC/status/2095223100002492704" social-type="twitter" /][p]Liverpool's midfield has been questioned, particularly in transition, while there have also been concerns about their structure and the options available to fill certain positions.[/p][p][b]The club are not committed to making a January signing at this stage. Instead, the intention is to monitor how the squad develops under [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/iraola-andoni/xpALVpwq/"]Andoni Iraola[/a] before deciding whether further depth is required.[/b][/p][p]Liverpool have already made their major investment in the squad, but sources indicate that if weaknesses remain apparent when the window arrives, the club have some financial capacity to make a targeted addition.[/p][p]The focus, therefore, will be on finding the right solution rather than simply adding another big name.[/p][infobox id="f961102e-920a-4281-b5f2-f996852544cf" /]
