Liverpool dodge £60m bullet after 'shaky' performance Now that the 2026-27 summer transfer window is just around the corner, rumours are starting to emerge. Liverpool have already been linked with several players with many of them costing a rather hefty chunk of change. And, since Mohamed Salah is leaving at the end of the season , it's clear that plenty of change is afoot.
However, even though the Reds' attack will be one of their main transfer focuses this summer, their defence is also going to be in need of some TLC, especially since Ibrahima Konate's future is still undecided. As mentioned, many defenders have been linked with Anfield switches over the last couple of months but, since they've already signed Jeremy Jacquet , it seems like they're taking their time before making another move. This may seem a tad scary to fans but, in reality, it may have just saved them from wasting £60 million.
Nico Schlotterbeck put on a 'shaky' performance for Germany on Friday Nico Schlotterbeck has been one of the most-linked defenders with Liverpool this season. The centre-backs contract is set to expire next term which led many to believe that Borussia Dortmund would allow him to exit for a cut-rate fee. However, that clearly isn't the case with the Bundesliga outfit still demanding around £60 million for the 26-year-old.
And, after the performance he put on for Germany in their 4-3 victory over Switzerland on Friday evening, it's clear that he isn't worth that much. That is, especially since he's now more likely to sign an extension to his contract with Dortmund . As per a report from Sport Bild , it was clear that he failed to impress with the German outfit giving him their lowest rating possible (5).
