Liverpool suffer transfer blow hours after crushing Manchester City defeat Liverpool are undertaking a rebuild of their squad. Richard Hughes oversaw a significant investment in the attack last summer, signing Alexander Isak, Hugo Ekitike and Florian Wirtz for around £320 million. The next point of focus for Liverpool will be the defence, with a £60 million deal already announced that will bring centre-half Jeremy Jacquet to Anfield in the summer.
The defensive acquisitions won’t stop with the Frenchman though and several names have been linked with a Merseyside move. Nico Schlotterbeck is one of the most spoken about options, and , but a fresh report has cleared up a few questions about the situation. Schlotterbeck update sheds light on defender’s future When it was reported recently that Schlotterbeck was close to agreeing a contract extension with Borussia Dortmund, there was little hope that a deal could be agreed this summer.
The 26-year-old came out and publicly disputed these reports however, claiming that they exaggerated just how close he was to signing a new deal, and this sparked rumours that a move this summer could be on after all. Speaking to Sky Sports in Germany on Saturday, the defender has now given another update on his contract situation. “I had a good conversation with Lars Ricken and with Ole Book.
The talks will continue this week,” Schlotterbeck said. “I think it won’t take much longer before I make a decision. I’ve said it all along: of course I can imagine staying.
