Liverpool Faces Defensive Challenges Ahead of January Window

Liverpool faces potential upheaval as key players Mo Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold are all out of contract at season's end, with negotiations stalled. The club may have to prepare for their departure, with Real Madrid reportedly interested in Alexander-Arnold, while Salah has expressed frustration over contract talks. Meanwhile, Liverpool's recent match against Manchester United resulted in a disappointing draw, highlighting their defensive vulnerabilities despite a strong attack. Manager Thomas Tuchel observed the game, noting that Liverpool's defensive issues could necessitate signings, particularly for left-back, as Andy Robertson's form has declined. The urgency for reinforcements is now critical if Liverpool aims to compete for major honors this season. With a challenging schedule ahead, addressing these concerns will be vital for maintaining their position in the league.
