Liverpool can sign free agent Renato Sanches after transfer window closes

Although the summer transfer window has closed, Liverpool remains eligible to sign free agents to bolster a squad described by manager Andoni Iraola as lacking depth. Fabrizio Romano confirmed that Renato Sanches is available after being released by PSG. Liverpool concluded the transfer window with the additions of Victor Munoz, Ronald Araujo, and youth goalkeeper Lucca Brughmans but did not secure a direct replacement for Curtis Jones. While the club's midfield includes Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Ryan Gravenberch, personnel depth is limited due to the potential usage of players like Szoboszlai in defensive roles. The club previously elected to promote Trey Nyoni rather than seek external midfield recruits. Any free agent acquisition would be contingent upon available roster space for registration.
