Revealed: Liverpool ready to block January exits for three first-XI stars

Liverpool will not weaken their squad by selling any of their first-team members in the January transfer window, sources have told Football Insider.

Arne Slot is happy with the composition of his squad and wants to improve it in the new year, rather than weaken it.

Football Insider revealed on Monday (4 November) that Liverpool are not considering allowing forward Federico Chiesa to leave the club in the mid-season window.

He has been linked with a loan move to Serie A club Como but will be kept on at Anfield until the end of the season at least.

Trent Alexander-Arnold, who is attracting strong interest from Real Madrid, has also been linked with a January exit.

He is out of contract at the end of this season and the new year could present the final opportunity for Liverpool to cash in – but they want to keep him at the club until the 2024-25 campaign ends.

Liverpool won’t consider Chiesa, Alexander-Arnold and Endo offers in January

Japan international midfielder Wataru Endo has also been linked with a potential exit.

All three are set to have moves blocked in January as Slot sets his sights on success in his first season in the Anfield hot seat.

Liverpool have got transfer plans of their own for the new year, with Football Insider revealing on Tuesday (5 November) that they are laying the groundwork for a centre-back signing.

The Reds sit top of the Premier League after 10 games and also have a 100% record in the Champions League.
