Lutsharel Geertruida could leave Feyenoord in the close season and even follow Arne Slot to Liverpool as their new right-back.
According to Algemeen Dagblad via Sport Witness, Lutsharel Geertruida could be leaning towards departing Feyenoord this season. The right-back reportedly wants a new challenge and remains linked with Liverpool, as stories suggest he could follow current boss Arne Slot to Anfield.
Lutsharel Geertruida to leave Feyenoord?
Feyenoord have come a full circle in their recent development and could now be staring at potential significant departures from the side. Manager Arne Slot has already agreed on a deal to become Liverpool’s new boss. At the same time, star striker Santiago Gimenez, midfielder Quentin Timber, and now Lursharel Geertruida are all linked with imminent exits from the club.
Sticking with Geertruida and the right-back has been immense for Feyenoord over the last two seasons. He played a big part in the club, lifting the Eredivisie title last season, and this term, he has undoubtedly improved his game, producing more output from the right-back position.
He has now reportedly decided to leave Feyenoord in the summer when he enters the final year of his deal with the Eredivisie giants. There have been speculation in the past, with links to Real Madrid around January, although no move materialised to the Spanish giants.
Liverpool linked with Geertruida
The media have wasted no time in linking Geertruida to Liverpool, with suggestions that Arne Slot could take the 23-year-old full-back to Anfield in the summer. While there have been no talks about a move from the Merseysiders so far, the report does point towards Geertruida being present for their weekend’s game against West Ham in London.
Should he come to Liverpool, the 23-year-old is not seen as a successor to Trent Alexander-Arnold but rather an option for their right-back slot. Given the England international’s recent performances, Slot might see him fit into a midfield role next season.
Alexander-Arnold is also expected to sign a new deal with Liverpool, so the club are looking for an out-and-out right back in someone like Geertruida in the summer. For now, there are no talks taking place, but as soon as Slot officially becomes their manager, he might look at the idea of bringing the 23-year-old with him to Anfield.
