Liverpool urgently needs to turn things around. The club is plummeting in form, having suffered nine defeats in their last 12 matches.
PSV took full advantage of the Premier League champions’ struggles, overpowering them 4-1 at Anfield in the Champions League on Wednesday night.

The Reds currently sit in 12th place in the league, with six losses in their last seven games, including consecutive three-goal defeats against Manchester City and Nottingham Forest.
Despite efforts from Arne Slot, the team’s decline continues, which may prompt the Merseysiders to re-enter the transfer market.

Slot is limited to the same midfield options as last season, and the pressure is mounting on Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, Curtis Jones, and Wataru Endo.
Meanwhile, Cody Gakpo’s inconsistent performance has raised speculation about his future, while Mo Salah appears to be entering a phase of decline, necessitating a new attacking threat from the wings.
One potential solution to these challenges may lie within Jurgen Klopp’s RB Leipzig.
Liverpool Eyes Yan Diomande
Recent reports indicate that Liverpool is monitoring Yan Diomande, an exceptionally talented forward.

Diomande has recently been in sensational form, scoring three goals and providing three assists in his last four Bundesliga matches.
The Ivorian is being touted as a potential €100m transfer, with Liverpool, Paris Saint-Germain, and other Premier League clubs likely to make a move.
The 19-year-old joined Red Bull from Leganes in the summer of 2025 for about £18m and signed a contract that extends until 2030. If his impressive trajectory continues, he could become a key player to help fill Salah’s shoes.

Another target on Liverpool’s radar is Assan Ouedraogo, who had been linked with the club before moving from Schalke to Leipzig in the summer of 2024. After an injury-plagued first season, he has begun to showcase his potential this season.

According to BILD, the teenager is attracting interest from both Arsenal and Liverpool, potentially leading to a €100m bidding war. Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund are also keen on signing him, with scouts from Liverpool, Arsenal, and Barcelona recently watching him play.
Currently sidelined due to injury, Ouedraogo is expected to return in time for the new year and may even represent Germany at the upcoming FIFA World Cup after recently breaking into Julian Nagelsmann’s squad.
With both Diomande and Ouedraogo valued around €100m, Liverpool could see a record-breaking transfer window, as their current highest outgoing fee stands at €90m.
