Overview
- Bayern Munich interest in Borussia Dortmund’s Nico Schlotterbeck has been reported, with Jonathan Tah publicly praising the defender as Liverpool weigh a January move.
- Liverpool have slipped to eighth with one win in six league matches following a 3-0 defeat to Man City.
- A failed deadline‑day bid for Marc Guehi collapsed when Crystal Palace could not secure a replacement, leaving Liverpool light in central defence.
- Season-ending damage to Giovanni Leoni and underperformance from Ibrahima Konaté have restricted options, with tactical flexibility also limited.
- Calls to consider internal solutions have grown after academy winger Kaide Gordon scored twice, including a stoppage-time equaliser, for the Under-21s in the EFL Trophy.
