Liverpool have just one week left to make any final additions to Arne Slot’s squad before the January transfer window closes. While reports suggest the Reds aren’t actively pursuing new signings, they could still make a late move if the right opportunity arises.

Reliable sources, including James Pearce, have repeatedly indicated that Liverpool are unlikely to make any signings before Monday’s deadline unless an ideal opportunity presents itself. However, there are now suggestions that sporting director Richard Hughes might take a gamble on a last-minute deal in the coming days.

Liverpool Eyeing Late January Move for Jorrel Hato

According to Rudy Galetti of TEAMtalk, Liverpool are considering an approach for Ajax defender Jorrel Hato this week, potentially accelerating plans initially set for the summer transfer window.

With uncertainty surrounding Virgil van Dijk’s contract situation and recent interest from Real Madrid and Chelsea in the talented 18-year-old, Liverpool’s decision-makers may feel compelled to act now rather than risk losing out later.

Ajax are reportedly reluctant to part ways with Hato during the current season. However, an offer in the region of €30m (£25.2m) could be enough to tempt the Dutch club to sell. Known for his versatility and long-term potential, Hato is viewed as a valuable asset and a strong addition to Slot’s squad.

Could Liverpool Pull Off Another Luis Díaz-Style Signing?

Speculation around a possible deal for Hato has intensified after reports emerged that he was spotted at Anfield during Liverpool’s 4-1 win over Ipswich on Saturday. This follows months of scouting by Liverpool, who have kept a close eye on the young defender throughout the autumn.

While Liverpool’s 2024 transfer activity has been relatively quiet, with Federico Chiesa as the only addition over the past year (Giorgi Mamardashvili is set to arrive in the summer), the club has previously made significant mid-season moves.

One such example is the signing of Luis Díaz from Porto three years ago. Initially, Liverpool planned to bring him in during the summer but moved quickly in January to beat Tottenham to his signature. Could history repeat itself with Hato?

A Deal Worth Pursuing?

Hato’s versatility and potential make him a highly attractive target for Liverpool, especially given the precarious situation surrounding Van Dijk’s future and the growing interest from rival clubs. While Ajax might be hesitant to sell now, a strong offer could be enough to secure the defender.

As the January window edges closer to its conclusion, Liverpool fans will be eager to see whether the club pulls off another shrewd mid-season signing or waits until the summer to reinforce their squad. For now, all eyes are on whether Hato could become the Reds’ next big move.
