Liverpool transfer news: Arne Slot's assistant makes decision as exit talks emerge
Share:
Liverpool have enjoyed an outstanding season so far as Arne Slot's side get ready for their first match of 2025 later today. Liverpool are set to welcome rivals Manchester United to Anfield and will be hoping to continue their good form, having notched an incredible 14 goals in their last three Premier League victories.
The Reds currently sit top of the league and are also top of the revamped league phase of the Champions League, having won all six of their European games so far. However, they are set for a busy January transfer window with much attention on the futures of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah.
The trio are all out of contract at the end of the season and it remains to be seen whether they will remain at Anfield. With all that in mind, Mirror Football rounds up all the latest Liverpool transfer news. Arne Slot's assistant manager John Heitinga has decided to remain at Liverpool, despite being linked with the West Brom job.
West Brom are searching for a new manager after Carlos Corberan left the Championship club to take charge of Valencia and Heitinga, who previously had a brief stint in charge of Ajax, had been mooted as a potential replacement. However, Heitinga's agent has confirmed the 41-year-old will not be leaving Anfield for pastures new. Rob Jansen said: "John will definitely stay at Liverpool this season.".
22-year-old goalkeeper Marcelo Pitaluga could be set for a return to Fluminense, according to reports from Brazil. Pitaluga joined Liverpool from Fluminense for a fee of around £2million back in 2020 and has spent time on loan at Macclesfield, St Patrick's Athletic and Livingston. However, Fluminense are now in talks with Liverpool over re-signing Pitaluga.
