BREAKING: Lutsharel Geertruida transfer talks underway as Liverpool makes move before deadline day

2 days ago 34

Liverpool could be lining up a late, late move in the transfer window, with the Reds claimed to be in talks over the signing of Lutsharel Geertruida from Sunderland.

The window closes in just over 24 hours, with Liverpool having until 7 pm UK time (2 pm ET) to get any incomings or outgoings over the line. Arne Slot has suggested recently that any new signings look unlikely, although that stance looks to have changed dramatically now.

With both right-backs Conor Bradley and Jeremie Frimpong out injured, and center-backs Joe Gomez and Giovanni Leoni also on the sidelines, the Reds look to be eyeing up a late move for a new defender.

According to Fabrizio Romano, the club is in talks to sign Geertruida before the window closes tomorrow. Initial contact is said to have been made with Sunderland, and negotiations are taking place between the two clubs.

Arne Slot of course knows Geertruida well from their time together at Feyenoord, with the defender having been previously linked with a move to Anfield, even before Slot was appointed.
