Liverpool Sets Sights on Signing Nico Schlotterbeck
Liverpool’s interest in Nico Schlotterbeck as a potential replacement for Virgil van Dijk highlights their forward planning in defence. Schlotterbeck, since joining Borussia Dortmund in 2022, has grown into a standout left-sided centre-back.
As a key figure for Germany, he is now on Liverpool’s radar, with the club reportedly willing to pay around €50 million and offer €7 million in wages annually. However, given Dortmund’s reputation for demanding hefty fees, the final price could soar.
Van Dijk’s future at Liverpool remains uncertain. While some reports suggest he might leave for free next summer, possibly to clubs in Europe or Saudi Arabia, a contract extension is still a possibility.
Schlotterbeck’s arrival could signify a new era at Anfield.
