Liverpool has decided to close the door on the departure of three of its key players in the upcoming winter transfer window: Trent Alexander-Arnold, Wataru Endo, and Federico Chiesa. This move, driven by coach Arne Slot, reflects the club's intention to strengthen its squad rather than weaken it mid-season, especially after a brilliant start in the Premier League and flawless performance in the Champions League.
With his team at the top, Slot aims to retain his core pieces in the project that seeks to clinch titles this year. Alexander-Arnold, a defensive pillar for the Reds, has attracted interest from clubs like Real Madrid, looking to bolster their right-back position, particularly with Dani Carvajal's injury. However, Liverpool has no plans to part ways with their defender, who is under contract until the end of the season.

Endo and Chiesa, on the other hand, have also garnered interest from other clubs. Serie A sides such as Inter Milan and AC Milan have shown interest in these players, with Chiesa sparking speculation about a possible return to Italy. Nonetheless, Slot believes both players play an essential role in his plans, so any potential transfers are ruled out.
Liverpool's firm stance not only reflects their ambition this season but also their confidence in the core group of players Slot has assembled. Unlike other teams that might succumb to tempting offers in the winter market, the Reds have chosen to keep their squad intact. The decision aims to maximize their chances in the Premier League and Europe, solidifying Slot's project in his debut season with the team.
