Liverpool faces transfer challenges as January window approaches
Summary

Liverpool's 2026/27 season has begun with indications that the roster needs additional depth. Manager Andoni Iraola has seen positive contributions from players like Jeremy Jacquet and Alexander Isak, but the team remains unbalanced. There are reports suggesting they are missing out on Diego Gomez, a key target for the Reds, as other clubs, including Manchester United, are reportedly pursuing the 23-year-old. A transfer fee of around €50-60 million would be required to secure Gomez's services in January, a move that could enhance Liverpool’s system.
