Liverpool remained inactive during the winter transfer window, sticking to their plan of relying on the existing squad.
Despite fan calls for reinforcements, manager Arne Slot and sporting director Richard Hughes were confident in the team’s depth and development.
The club was prepared to act if injuries struck or an exceptional opportunity arose, but neither happened.
Their only senior signing in the last three transfer windows remains Federico Chiesa, while a deal is already in place to bring in Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili this summer.
Liverpool signed just two players across the summer and January transfer windows.

Liverpool’s strong performances—leading the Premier League, advancing in the Champions League, FA Cup, and Carabao Cup—reinforce their belief in squad continuity.
Concerns about fatigue, reminiscent of last season’s late slump, are mitigated by Slot’s rotation policy and a more balanced training regime.
The Reds did receive offers for players, including Real Madrid’s approach for Trent Alexander-Arnold and Saudi interest in Darwin Nunez, but they refused to sell.
They also rejected bids for young winger Ben Doak, seeing him as part of next season’s plans.
Sitting atop the Premier League and competing across all fronts, the club is betting on internal development, smart rotation, and a balanced training approach to avoid last season’s late slump.
Major moves are expected in the summer, especially with contract uncertainties surrounding Virgil van Dijk, Mohamed Salah, and Alexander-Arnold.
While some key contract situations remain unresolved, Liverpool are focused on maximizing their squad’s potential this season, with reinforcements expected in the summer.
For now, Liverpool believes this squad has what it takes to bring home silverware.
