Arne Slot alerted to dream Liverpool signing after rival deal collapses

12 May 26

Arne Slot will be delighted as Liverpool have a second chance at signing Dutch defender Lutsharel Geertruida following the latest developments.

This story has been reproduced from the media. It does not necessarily represent the position of Liverpool Football Club.

Geertruida starred under Slot at Feyenoord, helping the club win the Eredivisie title in the 2022-23 season and the Dutch Cup the following campaign.

The right-back, who can also play in central defence, signed for RB Leipzig in August 2024 before joining Sunderland on a season-long loan last summer.

Sky Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg has revealed that Geertruida 'will not stay at Sunderland' as they have declined to activate their €23million (£20m) option to buy.
