The January transfer window is now open and it means that rumours will be rife for every team in the Premier League but Liverpool are always linked with star names.
With Jurgen Klopp's side in a brilliant position halfway through the season, they may feel an addition or two could be what makes the difference five months down the line given they are favourites for the Europa League, Carabao Cup and are currently top of the league, so we can't count anything out, especially with injuries.
The more likely outcome, given Liverpool's frugal nature in the market, is that the summer will be when we see plenty of business done. But a more interesting factor is the fact that they can sign players who are out of contract in the summer on a pre-contract and talks can begin up to six months before a contract expires — meaning January 1 is a key date for the many players whose deals end on June 30.
In that case, LiverpoolWorld has decided to compile the best names available that Liverpool could look at - be it realistic or not.

5. Adrian Rabiot - Juventus
The experienced Frenchman was a target for multiple clubs in the summer but he remained in Turin. He has continued his strong 2023 form and remains an option for many a side in 2024.
6. Marco Reus - Borussia Dortmund
John Henry once said tongue-in-cheek that he had it on his list for Liverpool to sign Reus. That never happened of course despite the clamour. The attacking midfielder is now 34 but is continuing to feature for Dortmund - and knows Klopp well.
7. Leandro Barreiro - Mainz
Mainz's sporting director claimed last season Barreiro was being watched by half of Europe. Perhaps Klopp could put his contacts at the German side to good use.
8. Juan Miranda - Real Betis
A long-term replacement for Andy Robertson will be needed at some stage. Miranda has been linked with AC Milan and Napoli. Photo: Quality Sport Images
