Liverpool could be active in the January transfer window – after failing to secure every target in the summer.
The Reds added only Federico Chiesa to the squad last summer – as well as Giorgi Mamardashvili for the future – but clearly, not a lot was needed in the way of reinforcements as Liverpool sit top of both the Premier League and the Champions League under Arne Slot.

However, there was a highly publicised pursuit of a central midfielder when Liverpool bid for Martin Zubimendi – although the Spaniard wanted to remain with boyhood side Real Sociedad – suggesting the Reds are not entirely happy with their midfield department.
Now, a midfielder Liverpool also considered during the summer in Morten Frendrup could be available for a bargain fee in January.
Liverpool could sign Morten Frendrup for just £12.4m
A story from Tutto Mercato Web in Italy now states that Genoa could sell the Denmark international in January due to financial issues.
The Italian news outlet claim that Genoa wanted around €20m (£16.5m) for Frendrup during the summer transfer window, but problems have since hit those in the boardroom, meaning a €15m (£12.4m) bid could even be seriously considered.
Tutto Mercato Web pay reference to the fact Liverpool were monitoring the Dane last summer, but do not state whether the Reds remain interested.
However, news of Manchester City wanting Zubimendi after losing Rodri to injury, and the fact Liverpool never actually signed a central midfielder last summer, suggests Frendrup could still be on the radar of Richard Hughes, Director of Football at Anfield.
Arne Slot presumably won’t have to convince Morten Frendrup
If Liverpool do make an offer for the Genoa No.32 this winter, we doubt personal terms will be a struggle to agree based on comments the 23-year-old has made before.
Frendrup has said he dreams of playing for Liverpool, telling Sjællandske Nyheder back in 2018: “It is a dream I have always had, and I believe it will succeed. If I work hard, I believe in it.”
A bid for the man born in Tuse seems even more likely to happen, as Wataru Endo could leave Liverpool in 2025 after playing just 20 minutes of Premier League football under Slot so far this season.
