Liverpool are reportedly considering loan offers for rising midfield prospect Trey Nyoni, one of the standout young players currently developing within the club’s system.
After sending out several academy graduates over the summer — including James McConnell to Ajax, Lewis Koumas to Birmingham, and Owen Beck to Derby — the Reds could approve more temporary exits when the January window opens.

Clubs in England and Europe Tracking Nyoni
According to a recent report from The Athletic, Nyoni is a strong candidate for a loan move early in 2026, with multiple clubs across England and Europe keeping close watch on his situation.
Liverpool have yet to make a final decision on the 18-year-old’s short-term future, but the club is understood to be open to hearing offers if the right opportunity becomes available.
Anfield officials are expected to carefully assess any potential destination, ensuring Nyoni only moves to a club where he’ll receive meaningful minutes and fit into a system that supports his growth. The teenager recently impressed while representing England’s under-19 side, further increasing his appeal.

Why a Loan Might Be the Best Next Step
While fellow youngster Rio Nguomha has already broken into Liverpool’s first team this season, Nyoni’s senior involvement has been limited to two Carabao Cup appearances. Most of his football has come in the UEFA Youth League.
He now finds himself in a challenging middle ground — no longer challenged by academy level football, but not yet established enough to command regular first-team minutes under Arne Slot.
Nyoni has earned praise for his mentality, with Harvey Elliott previously describing him as “fearless”, but competition in Liverpool’s midfield means opportunities are not guaranteed unless injuries arise.
A January loan could therefore provide the consistent playing time he needs. However, if Liverpool experience further issues with senior midfield depth, the club may opt to keep him at Anfield.
Ultimately, Liverpool’s recruitment and loan staff will determine the path they believe best accelerates the young midfielder’s development. Whether he stays or goes, the priority is ensuring he gains substantial minutes over the next year.
