Arne Slot harbors ambitions of acquiring the seasoned defender, Nico Schlotterbeck, as Liverpool prepares for potential changes in its lineup.
Reports from the Mirror indicate that the English club Liverpool is still in contention to recruit the 26-year-old German defender from Borussia Dortmund. Despite Schlotterbeck recently signing a new long-term contract, Dortmund is reportedly willing to entertain offers, though the asking price has increased from €30 million to €55 million.
The impending departure of Virgil van Dijk has placed Liverpool in a critical situation, driving the club to explore the transfer market for a suitable replacement. Arne Slot views Schlotterbeck as an ideal candidate to fill this vital position.
So far this season, Schlotterbeck has made 37 appearances for Borussia Dortmund, scoring 5 goals and providing 2 assists. His current market valuation, according to Transfermarkt, stands at €55 million.
