Liverpool could make a move for the services of 23-year-old Feyenoord full-back Lutsharel Geertruida in the summer.
According to Marcel van der Kraan via FC Update, Liverpool could be interested in acquiring the services of Lutsharel Geertruida ahead of next season. The 23-year-old has been doing wonders in the Eredivisie, and the Reds could push for his services as they look to reinforce their squad in the summer.
Arne Slot to take over from Jurgen Klopp
Jurgen Klopp’s decision to part ways with Liverpool at the end of the season came as a major blow to the club. But, he has given them enough time to look for an ideal replacement. The Reds have reportedly decided to appoint Feyenoord’s Arne Slot as their new manager.
The Dutchman has an impressive track record at the Eredivisie club, and they feel he is the right man to lead them into the new era. While the 45-year-old expected to take charge before the start of the transfer window, he has started to help them out with the summer plans.
The Reds are looking to reinforce their defence ahead of next season, and they might have their eyes set on Geertruida. The 23-year-old has been a part of the Feyenoord setup since the summer of 2012. He came up the ranks at some pace and was promoted to their first team in the summer of 2018.
Liverpool interested in Geertruida’s services
Geertruida has been a consistent feature at the back for the Dutch club over the past few seasons. The right-back’s performances have put him on the radar of multiple top clubs, and Liverpool are one of them.
With Slot all set to take charge of the Merseyside club starting next season, van der Kraan believes the Dutch manager could take Geertruida along with him. The 23-year-old has done wonders for him. Bot only has he impressed as a right-back, but the Dutch international has also featured as a centre-back and a left-back for Slot.
The soon-to-be Liverpool boss is well aware of the full-back’s abilities and his huge potential. As a result, it won’t be a surprise if he accompanies his boss to the Premier League. Meanwhile, the 23-year-old, along with his agent, was spotted in the stands among the Liverpool fans last weekend for their fixture against West Ham United, which does suggest that there could be a transfer on the cards.
A potential transfer will cost at least €30 million as the Dutch club rejected a €25 million offer from RB Leipzig last summer. The Reds do have the financial strength to pull it off and with Slot joining Liverpool as their new manager, the possibility of Geertruida making the move has increased manifolds.
