Liverpool has reportedly identified Borussia Dortmund defender Nico Schlotterbeck as a top target, according to journalist Pete O’Rourke on the Transfer Insider podcast. Schlotterbeck, a German centre-back, has been linked with a move to Liverpool last summer and recently signed a new deal with Dortmund. The 26-year-old has had a strong season so far, registering one goal in six appearances and showcasing his defensive prowess for the German club.
Despite having a contract that expires in 2031, Liverpool could potentially sign Schlotterbeck on a cut-price deal due to his impressive form this season. The Reds are also interested in other targets such as Murillo from Nottingham Forest and Jules Koundé at Barcelona, but Schlotterbeck's potential addition to the squad could provide head coach Andoni Iraola with additional depth and quality in their defense.
Standing at 1.91m tall, Schlotterbeck is known for his strong presence in the air and solid tackling abilities, though there are concerns about whether he can adapt to the Premier League's high intensity after joining Liverpool.
