Liverpool confirms transfer deal just hours after the window closes.
A Liverpool player departed the club in the hours following the transfer deadline.
Arne Slot’s team has enjoyed an impressive 2024/25 season so far, currently leading the league by six points ahead of Arsenal, who have played one more game. Despite working with a limited transfer budget, the 46-year-old has guided Liverpool to the Champions League round of 16 while maintaining domestic success.
Since his arrival in the summer of 2024, Liverpool has made just one major signing, bringing in Federico Chiesa from Juventus. Additionally, the club reached an agreement with Valencia for goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, though he will not arrive until the 2025/26 season.
During the winter transfer window, Liverpool did not bring in any new players but saw Stefan Bajcetic (loaned to Las Palmas) and Calvin Ramsey (loaned to Kilmarnock) leave temporarily. Meanwhile, 22-year-old goalkeeper Marcelo Pitaluga completed a permanent move to Fluminense.
However, another departure was confirmed shortly after Monday night’s transfer deadline.
Jayden Danns signed a new long-term contract with Liverpool before securing a loan move to Championship side Sunderland for the remainder of the season. The 19-year-old forward, who has scored twice in seven appearances this season, is regarded highly at Anfield.
Liverpool stated that Danns would complete his injury rehabilitation at the AXA Training Centre before joining Sunderland.
The Black Cats’ director of football, Kristjaan Speakman, praised Danns, noting that he “fits the profile” Sunderland was looking for.
“Jayden is an extremely talented player, and his availability was determined late due to Liverpool’s schedule. There was significant interest in him, so we worked hard to secure the deal,” Speakman said.
“Unfortunately, the medical process identified an issue requiring a period of rest. Despite this, Jayden remained committed to joining Sunderland, and we have agreed to collaborate with Liverpool so he can join us
at a later date.”
