Liverpool are considering offers for Calvin Ramsay in January, with the 22-year-old full-back also open to a move in search of regular minutes. After a composed Carabao Cup showing against Crystal Palace, the Scot has put himself back in the shop window but the path to consistent Anfield time is still crowded and complicated.
Pete O’Rourke outlined the situation on the Inside Track Podcast, noting Liverpool would listen if the “right offer” lands, while the player fit again after a stop-start spell wants a stable platform to play. With the right-back lane featuring Conor Bradley and Jeremie Frimpong ahead of him this season, and with a string of loans behind him, Ramsay’s decision phase has arrived.
This is not a rushed exit narrative. It’s a pragmatic one. Liverpool’s EFL Cup exit reduces near-term rotation opportunities, and Ramsay’s priority is straightforward: a run of senior games to rebuild rhythm after injuries and loans at Bolton, Wigan and Kilmarnock.
Calvin Ramsay Liverpool exit: where talks stand
The club’s stance is measured. Liverpool will not force a sale, but they are prepared to engage if bids reflect both potential and recent progress. Ramsay’s performance against Crystal Palace helped his case, showing tidy mechanics on the ball and reliable positioning without it. That audition was timely; it signals readiness, not finality, and gives suitors recent tape that looks like first-team football, not rehab minutes.
From the player’s side, the motivation is minutes. Regular action now matters more than depth-chart optimism. If a move offers guaranteed pathways: starts, defined role, and coaching alignment expect serious consideration.
Calvin Ramsay January transfer picture
January presents two logical routes. A permanent sale that locks in value for Liverpool and stability for the player, or a loan that guarantees starts and a clear development plan. Either way, the deciding factors will be simple: who plays him, where, and how quickly. With the market aware of his availability at the right terms, interest should crystallise as windows open.
Rangers links have been floated in recent chatter; the broader point stands regardless of destination, Ramsay needs a team that trusts him to build rhythm week to week.
What his pathway looks like at Anfield
The internal competition is fierce. Conor Bradley has banked minutes and trust, and Jeremie Frimpong sits ahead in the current pecking order. In that landscape, Ramsay’s route to the matchday squad narrows outside of injuries or wholesale rotation. With Liverpool already out of the EFL Cup, the calendar offers fewer low-risk starts, and that reality shapes January thinking on all sides.
That is why a clean runway elsewhere holds appeal. For a modern full-back whose game relies on timing overlaps and defensive repeat sprints, nothing replaces rhythm.
What happens next
Expect a controlled process rather than a scramble. Liverpool will set sensible terms and assess whether a loan or sale best serves the player’s trajectory and the squad’s balance. Ramsay, for his part, has done the first part look sharp when the chance arrives. The next step is choosing a platform that guarantees those chances every week, not once a month.
Editorial verdict: this is the right conversation at the right time. Ramsay remains a talent with Premier League tools, but he needs continuity. If the right offer matches that need, Liverpool and the player have every incentive to move now and make his next 18 months about football, not waiting.
