Graeme Bailey reported that Liverpool are trying to sign Lutsharel Geertruida before Monday’s deadline, and The Athletic journalist James Pearce has reported that the club is trying to sign him for the rest of the season. DAVEOCKOP has reported that Sunderland are demanding a compensation package of £3m-£4m to release the 25-year-old Netherlands international defender. According to The Daily Mail journalist Lewis Steele, Sunderland players were upset to learn on January 31 that Geertruida will leave for Liverpool. Steele wrote that Geertruida was discussing the potential move with Sunderland colleagues on January 31.

Liverpool are seeking a new right-back following news of Jeremie Frimpong’s injury, have identified Lutsharel Geertruida as a potential replacement and are trying to sign him before the deadline. Sources confirmed on Sunday morning that Liverpool have initiated talks to sign Geertruida. German journalist Florian Plettenberg reported that Liverpool have reached a full agreement with the player. Leipzig are also expected to approve the transfer, which means Liverpool will now focus on Sunderland. The two Premier League sides are in direct contact as Liverpool aims to reach an agreement. It is likely Geertruida will join Liverpool on an initial loan, and a purchase option could be included in the deal.

Florian Plettenberg of Sky Sport reports that negotiations between Liverpool and Sunderland regarding Lutsharel Geertruida are at an advanced stage and that Geertruida has already reached a personal agreement with Liverpool. According to Plettenberg, Liverpool intends to initially acquire Geertruida on loan for a fee of 2.5 million euros, and there is also a purchase option worth 23 million euros.

Liverpool have reached a full agreement with Lutsharel Geertruida, according to Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg. TEAMtalk’s Graeme Bailey also reports that personal terms are done. Both Plettenberg and Bailey state that Geertruida's parent club, RB Leipzig, have given permission for a move. According to Sky Sports journalist Keith Downie, Sunderland, where the defender is currently on loan, will not obstruct his move but want a replacement first. Downie adds that there is no break clause in the loan contract, meaning any move requires Sunderland's approval. The Times reports that Sunderland will also seek a compensation fee. Liverpool and Sunderland are in direct contact, according to Plettenberg. Sources have told Bailey that Liverpool's confidence in securing a deal is increasing.

According to BILD, reports are true that Liverpool FC is interested in Dutch international Lutsharel Geertruida and that initial talks have taken place. The German outlet states that RB bosses have not yet been directly contacted. A potential loan for Geertruida to the English champions is linked to coach Arne Slot. Slot previously worked with the player at Feyenoord Rotterdam from 2021 to 2024.

The German branch of Sky Sport reports that Lutsharel Geertruida is personally in agreement with Liverpool over a transfer. The report also states that RB Leipzig is about to approve a loan transfer and that Geertruida himself is ready. Only an agreement with Sunderland, who is currently loaning the defender from Leipzig, is needed for the transfer. Sunderland is in direct contact with Liverpool over the deal. Liverpool intends for the Netherlands international to join on loan to strengthen their right-back position, but an agreement between all three parties is required. The Athletic reports that Sunderland wants to be able to find a replacement and receive compensation for the prematurely ended loan. The same source estimates the chance of the transfer occurring at about 75 percent. If the transfer is completed, Slot and Geertruida would be reunited, having previously worked together at Feyenoord.

Liverpool are reportedly in talks to secure a late deal for RB Leipzig defender Lutsharel Geertruida, who is on loan at Sunderland. According to Fabrizio Romano on X, Liverpool are in talks to sign Lutsharel Geertruida as a new defender. The report adds that initial contacts were made with Sunderland, that Liverpool are in club-to-club negotiations, and that Arne Slot knows the player well from his time at Feyenoord. Liverpool are attempting to reach an agreement for Geertruida's loan spell at Sunderland to be ended early so he can join the club.

Liverpool has shown interest in Lutsharel Geertruida from RB Leipzig. He previously worked with coach Arne Slot at Feyenoord Rotterdam and is valued for his versatility in defense and midfield. Both Geertruida and RB Leipzig are reportedly dissatisfied with his current sporting development, making a transfer more plausible despite his contract running until 2029.

Lutsharel Geertruida, who knows Liverpool manager Arne Slot well from their time together at Feyenoord, is being considered as a potential successor to Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Liverpool are keeping close tabs on RB Leipzig star Lutsharel Geertruida. Slot, who is a big admirer of his former player, believes the fact he can play as a centre-back and right-back would be beneficial for Liverpool.

Despite being linked with Liverpool in the summer, a move failed to materialise and he joined Bundesliga side RB Leipzig in an £18million deal. Alexander-Arnold’s potential departure would open up a space for a new right-back at Anfield and Slot could seek a reunion with the Netherlands international.
