Geertruida deal off as Liverpool search for new right-back continues

Liverpool’s search for a new right-back has hit a stumbling block.

Lutsharel Geertuida has been linked with a possible summer move in recent weeks, but the RB Leipzig defender doesn’t look like he’s interested, according to Voetbal International journalist, Joost Blaauwhof.

“Lutsharel Geertruida currently has no contact whatsoever with Liverpool,” Blaauwhof wrote on X.

“Arne Slot wanted to bring in the defender in the winter due to his versatility.

“The club didn’t follow through at the last moment, despite a personal agreement. The ex-Feyenoorder is focusing on the World Cup, transfer comes later.”

Lutsharel Geertruida heeft momenteel geen enkel contact met Liverpool. Arne Slot wilde verdediger vanwege zijn veelzijdigheid in de winter graag halen. Club pakte op laatste moment niet door, ondanks persoonlijk akkoord. Ex-Feyenoorder focust zich op WK, transfer komt later.🇳🇱🟠 pic.twitter.com/jgEiaCiyZQ
