Waldemar Anton has chosen Borussia Dortmund as his next club, despite reported interest from Liverpool. Anton has a €22.5m (£19m) release clause thanks to a new Stuttgart contract agreed in January. There has been competition from Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen throughout.

Liverpool are interested in a move for Stuttgart defender Waldemar Anton, a former teammate of Wataru Endo. Reports in Germany indicate that Liverpool are on the hunt for a new centre-back ahead of their first season under new head coach Arne Slot.
