Lutsharel Geertruida Update
Today, reports from the BBC and Sunderland Echo indicated that Lutsharel Geertruida’s loan at Sunderland from RB Leipzig could be ending before the transfer deadline. It was suggested that Liverpool, the current Premier League champions, were interested in signing him.
Geertruida’s loan agreement includes a no-recall clause, meaning Sunderland must agree to any deal reached between RB Leipzig and Liverpool. Sunderland also aims to find a replacement before any transfer and recover part of the £2 million loan fee paid to Leipzig.
However, tonight football correspondent David Ornstein announced that the transfer deal for Geertruida is off. The complexity of the situation made it too difficult to finalize before tomorrow’s 7 pm deadline.
