Liverpool have hit the ceiling on non-homegrown players in their Premier League squad registration, according to BBC News.
Each of the 20 top-flight clubs must submit a 25-man senior squad list once the transfer window closes, with the Premier League publishing every club's registration shortly after. Within that 25-man limit, a maximum of 17 can be non-homegrown players — and Liverpool have now filled that quota.
The homegrown rule, in place to protect the development of domestic talent, means any additional senior signings from abroad would require Liverpool to either offload another non-homegrown player or ensure incoming recruits qualify as homegrown themselves.
While the report doesn't detail further specifics of Liverpool's squad list, reaching this limit could have implications for how Jurgen Klopp's successor's side approach the remainder of the transfer window, particularly if they're eyeing further foreign additions before it shuts.
