Liverpool made few moves during the winter transfer window as they attempt to salvage their Premier League season. Rennes centre-back Jeremy Jacquet has agreed to join Liverpool for £55 million, with an additional £5 million in potential bonuses, but he will not come until the summer.
Arne Slot presided over a very quiet January transfer market following a £450 million summer spending spree on players including Florian Wirtz, Alexander Isak, Hugo Ekitike, and Milos Kerkez. In January, Jacquet was joined by Mor Talla Ndiaye, Noah Adekoya, and Ifeanyi Ndukwe, all of whom were brought in to boost the youth team.
The focus now shifts to the second half of the 2025/26 season, with the FA Cup and Champions League still in sight for the red half of Merseyside. The Daily Star Sport investigates the latest happenings from Anfield. Read Also:
Sporting director Richard Hughes has spoken about his close relationship with Slot and confirmed the club’s ongoing support for the Dutchman. Hughes acknowledged that Liverpool does not always produce the signings that the manager desires, but he believes the collaboration stays productive under difficult situations.
In the latest episode of The Reds Roundtable, alongside Arne Slot and CEO Billy Hogan, Hughes stated: “Fundamentally, there’s the understanding for both parties and everyone at wide, that everything involving matchday, team selection, tactics, that’s always the manager or head coach. That’s their domain. It’s very important not to step into that.
“Of course we talk about football and performances but I always let Arne lead that. Naturally in a conversation I will come up with an opinion and not just react to Arne’s, but always waiting for the right time to share these things is critical.
