Liverpool are not planning to do much in the winter transfer window as they believe there is enough depth in the squad to sustain a title challenge in the latter half of the season.
The Reds sit at the summit of the Premier League table and Liverpool fans feel that a few reinforcements in the January transfer window will fuel the team for a real charge at the title.
However, Arne Slot is happy with the state of his squad and feels with injuries clearing up, he will have more options to play with in the coming weeks.
But Liverpool are prepared to ensure that they are in a good position to take advantage of if a long-term target becomes available and the club are said to be closing in on a deal to sign Sevilla defender Loic Bade.
There are claims that the Reds are also pushing to take advantage of the financial soup Lyon have found themselves in with the club now facing relegation from Ligue 1 at the end of the season.
Lyon set price for midfielder the Reds want
Liverpool had tentative interest in Rayan Cherki last summer but he stayed at Lyon despite getting courted by Paris Saint-Germain and Borussia Dortmund.
However, Lyon now need to sell players to raise funds in the winter window to have any hope of overturning their relegation.
Cherki is expected to be sold and Liverpool have moved to try and sign the talented attacking midfielder in the winter window.
Can you name the team Liverpool sold these players to?
The Reds have offered a deal worth €20m but according to Foot Mercato, that is unlikely to cut the mustard with Lyon.
The French giants are in a desperate situation but are not prepared to just give away Cherki at a throwaway price.
It has been claimed that Lyon want at least €30m before they can agree to sell the French attacking midfielder in the winter transfer window.
The French giants are expecting offers for Cherki in January but have a clear price in mind before any deal to sell him can be agreed upon.
