It's been a quiet transfer window for the Reds. Richard Hughes was never going to pull the trigger on any deal in January. It's unlike of the Reds to plan to make moves in the winter market.

Traditionally, Liverpool have always been reactive to the market in January and that is what's happening at Anfield right now.

Arne Slot has a well harmonised squad with ample amount of players to sustain the Reds' campaign to win both the Premier League and the Champions League title come the end of the season.

However, the Reds could still be in business.

Record-breaking deal back on for Franco Mastantuono

Anfield Watch exclusively revealed that Liverpool's Global Talent Scouting Manager Kyle Woodbanks travelled to the U20 Sudamericana.

One of the players on his radar could be Franco Mastantuono, who has been linked with a move to Liverpool in what could be a record-breaking deal.

Woodbanks only makes appearances for big events and significant deals being in place. Perhaps, this time around Liverpool are strongly looking at Mastantuono as a possibility.
