• Top Six Potential January Transfer Targets for Liverpool

While claiming the Reds are "prepared" for January, Jurgen Klopp appeared to scoff at the prospect of Liverpool signing Jude Bellingham during the forthcoming transfer window.

The young English sensation has long been rumored to be moving to Anfield, but Borussia Dortmund is not in any hurry to sign one of the game's hottest properties anytime soon. Bellingham has a long list of prospective buyers, including Spanish Giants Real Madrid, who are apparently quite interested.

Liverpool “admire” Kusus

As the Ghanaian wants to leave the Amsterdam club, Liverpool is allegedly interested in acquiring Ajax star Mohammed Kudus in January. Kudus has dominated the Champions League so far this year, scoring four goals and dishing up two assists in six games, including the equalizer for Ajax in the 2-1 loss at Anfield in September. Kudus is now a highly sought-after man, though, as a result of Ajax's exit from the tournament. As one of his fans, Liverpool, Kudus "may attempt to force a move in January," according to the Daily Mail. If the Reds decide to pursue the Ghanaian player, an offer of about £34 million may be sufficient.

The successor for Mudryk has been chosen by Shakhtar.

The news that Shakhtar has already secured a successor for Mudryk has given Arsenal a big advantage in their pursuit of the Ukrainian player next month. Since the summer, the 21-year-old has been associated with the Arsenal, and a deal is getting closer and closer to being finalized, with rumors claiming that the two sides have already started discussions. Additionally, it now appears that Shakhtar just accelerated things themselves. According to UOL, Shakhtar are interested in signing Botafogo winger Jeffinho. If Jeffinho were to replace Mudryk, all indications lead to the 21-year-old completing a transfer to north London very soon.

A World Cup star could leave in January.

Manchester United's Facundo Pellistri, a forward and member of Uruguay's national team, might depart the organization in the January transfer window. The young player, who was acquired for €8.5 million in 2020 while Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was in charge, has yet to come off the bench in 14 games this season, including Wednesday night's triumph against Burnley, despite starting two of Uruguay's three World Cup games this winter. Following prior allegations that Pellistri would want to leave completely rather than secure another loan to transfer elsewhere, the Express claims that as a consequence of Ten Hag's most recent rejection of him, Pellistri's representative will now move forward with finding him a permanent path out of the club.

Ten Hag wants Ramos

Ramos, a forward for Benfica, had been rumored to be moving to Manchester United in January, but rumors now claim that Ten Hag has "selected" him as his top target for the following month. After scoring a hat trick in place of former Red Devil Ronaldo as Portugal defeated Switzerland 6-1 at the World Cup, the 21-year-old stole the show and is now regarded as "hot property" ahead of the January transfer window. Ramos has reportedly been "picked" by Man United Manager Ten Hag to be his primary center-forward going forward, however Benfica won't let him go in January until his €120 million (£105 million) release clause is triggered, according to the Italian website Calcio Mercato.
