Conclusion
The Premier League’s homegrown rules are limiting Liverpool’s ability to sign certain players in the summer transfer window. The Reds currently only have two non-homegrown slots remaining, meaning any more than two additions would have to be either U22, or homegrown, or see someone leave. Liverpool are still likely to make major incomings at Anfield this summer, but they will need to be mindful of the homegrown rules when making their decisions. There are options available to them, such as signing under-21 players and those who will eventually qualify as homegrown, but they may also need to consider selling some of their existing non-homegrown players.
