Liverpool's summer transfer window broke plenty of records, having spent roughly £450million on new signings to help improve off the back of winning the Premier League last season. That value for money hasn't quite been found yet, however, as the side have struggled through the first half of the campaign.
That could see the Reds enter the market yet again, with several options available to help strengthen the squad at Arne Slot's disposal. Defenders may well be a priority, given the lack of centre-backs currently available. There could be a desire to add new players in the midfield or out wide, too.
On the other hand, Liverpool may look towards their own squad to raise more transfer funds, as they will need to find a balance along the way. Several players could lgo over the next month, changing how the squad looks by the end of the month.
So, with that said, Google's AI assistant - Gemini - has predicted the January transfer window ahead, suggesting which deals could go ahead. There are six deals in total, with three incomings and, also, as many outgoings in the market, so here's a look at those suggestions.
Mohamed Salah move
Mohamed Salah has faced an uncertain future at Liverpool, following comments made before he left on international duty for AFCON. The forward's outburst in discussions with reporters suggested that he may well leave the club, although it's unclear if that will actually be the case.
The Saudi Pro League have been reported as a place of interest for the forward, which could see him make a move in January.

Federico Chiesa has struggled in his time at Liverpool so far, with injuries impacting his start to life at the club, with Arne Slot struggling to fit him in the team. That may well open up the possibility of an exit, if other teams are willing to snap-up the Italy international.

Youngster Trey Nyoni has featured on a few occasions for the Liverpool senior side now, having made his way through the academy ranks. The starlet needs more game time, however, which may open him up to a possible loan switch in January.

Marc Guehi deal
Liverpool failed to get their deal over the line for Marc Guehi - having pushed to land the centre-back late on in the summer market. Now, with just six months remaining on his contract, the Crystal Palace star could be available for the Reds to target, once again.

With Liverpool in need of another versatile forward, they could in turn look to land a player like Karim Adeyemi in January. The Borussia Dortmund star continues to be linked with a possible exit, and the Reds may be one side who could pounce to sign him.

With depth in the centre-back ranks required, Jan Paul van Hecke of Brighton has been suggested as another option. The 25-year-old has impressed in his time in the Premier League so far, and could offer his peak years to a club like Liverpool.
