Liverpool will be much relieved after winning against Inter Milan in the Champions League with the help of a solitary goal from Dominik Szoboszlai.
It was a welcome three points for the Reds. They have been struggling a lot recently. Also, the internal power struggle between Mohamed Salah and Arne Slot left the team in tatters.
However, Arne Slot once again refused to start Salah after his comments about the team trying to throw him under the bus.
Salah’s future could be decided in January. Also, Liverpool are looking to add new faces next month. Their focus will be on the defence. Missing out on Marc Guehi is hurting the Reds big time now.
Now, Liverpool’s long-term rebuild in defence has taken a significant step forward.
There is confirmation that preliminary talks have taken place between the representatives of the Bundesliga’s top defender and Liverpool
The highly rated centre-back, widely regarded as one of the best performers in recent seasons, is assessing his options ahead of a possible move in 2026.
Several Premier League clubs are showing interest, with Liverpool emerging as a serious contender.
According to TEAMtalk, the Reds have been monitoring Nico Schlotterbeck for over a year, and their sources have confirmed direct contact with his representatives.
Schlotterbeck’s contract runs until 2027, but Dortmund’s attempts to secure an extension have so far been unsuccessful.
His camp is open to fresh negotiations, yet they also want clarity on potential destinations should he choose to leave.
Bayern Munich remain the favourites in Germany, while Real Madrid and Barcelona are also monitoring his situation.
Liverpool are expected to sign two central defenders across the next two transfer windows, and Schlotterbeck fits their profile as a left-footer capable of eventually succeeding Virgil van Dijk.
