TRANSFER BOOST: LIVERPOOL MOVE FOR NICO SCHLOTTERBECK AS DORTMUND SCOUT MARCOS SENESI REPLACEMENT
Liverpool's pursuit of Nico Schlotterbeck gains momentum as Dortmund scouts Marco Senesi. Read the latest on the summer transfer plan.
Liverpool just got a real shot in the arm as they chase Borussia Dortmund defender Nico Schlotterbeck ahead of the summer window.
Yeah, the January transfer window barely slammed shut, but Liverpool’s already working behind the scenes, getting plans for the summer. Schlotterbeck's name keeps popping up. He’s about to hit the final year of his Dortmund contract, and that always stirs things up. People tend to listen when an important player could walk for free soon.
Now, with his future up in the air, Dortmund looks like they’re getting ready to move on. According to Bild, Dortmund scouts are already sizing up replacements. They’ve got their eye on Marco Senesi from Bournemouth, apparently.
Senesi's contract at Bournemouth runs out at the end of this season, so he’s about to become a free agent. He can even start talking to clubs outside England right now if he wants. That puts Dortmund in a good spot if they want to snap him up without a transfer fee.
So, if Dortmund really likes Senesi and they’re planning for life without Schlotterbeck, Liverpool’s path to making a move just got a lot clearer.
New boss Arne Slot and his team at Anfield definitely want to beef up their defence this summer. They already missed out on Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace; he almost joined Liverpool last year, but the deal fell apart at the last second. Instead, Guehi ended up heading to Manchester City during the January window.
That means Liverpool needs to look elsewhere for defensive reinforcements, and Schlotterbeck fits the bill.
Dortmund, for their part, still hopes Schlotterbeck signs a new deal. He hasn’t made up his mind yet, though. Last month, he told Sky Sports Germany he’s set a personal deadline—he wouldn’t say exactly when, just that it’ll be before the summer. Here’s what he said:
“I’ve set a personal deadline for myself. I won’t say when it is. Definitely before the summer, though. I feel comfortable here. It won’t be an easy decision. I’m a gut-feeling kind of guy. I’ll sit down with Dad and Keven (my brother), and then I’ll make a decision. I don’t quite know right now how it’ll turn out.”
So, for now, Liverpool waits, waits, but the signs are moving their way.
TRANSFER DEFENSE: ARNE SLOT BREAKS SILENCE ON SELLING LUIS DíAZ TO BAYERN MUNICH
Arne Slot defends Liverpool's decision to sell Luis Díaz for €75m, citing club sustainability and Alexander Isak's injury woes.
Arne Slot thinks all the talk about whether Liverpool misses Luis Diaz this season has only gotten louder because Alexander Isak’s still out.
Isak’s first season at Anfield has been rough. He’s started just six Premier League games, hasn’t played a full match since joining from Newcastle last summer, and hasn’t even set foot on the pitch since December, when he broke his leg while scoring the winner against Tottenham. He should be back soon, but honestly, Liverpool’s attack struggled for a while. People were quick to complain about their lack of goals and creativity earlier in the season, even though lately they’ve found more rhythm up front.
Luis Diaz set a high bar when he was at Liverpool, and since he left, pundits keep saying the club messed up by letting him go last summer.
But Slot isn’t second-guessing that decision, even with Diaz racking up 32 goal contributions for Bayern Munich this season.
“You always miss top players. He was huge for us last year, but he wasn’t the only one who mattered,” Slot said before Liverpool’s upcoming match at Sunderland. “Plenty of players made a difference in our results. I think we’ve brought in some really good replacements, too.
“And to be honest, if Alex had stayed healthy, would people even be having this conversation?”
Bayern paid €75 million for Diaz, a sum Liverpool just couldn’t turn down for a 28-year-old with two years left on his contract and big wage demands.
The club didn’t want to meet those demands, and when Bayern came calling, the move made sense for everyone.
“Luis Diaz is a great example of how this club is run. If someone offers that kind of money for a 28-year-old, Liverpool, because we care about sustainability, we will sell. That makes us kind of an outlier at the top of the Premier League,” Slot said.
“But that’s also what makes what we’ve done lately so impressive with this model. And honestly, seeing Diaz thrive at Bayern doesn’t surprise me at all.”
BETTER OPTIONS? THE REAL REASON ARNE SLOT REFUSES TO START CALVIN RAMSAY
Arne Slot confirms he will not use Calvin Ramsay against Sunderland despite losing four right-backs. Read the full injury report.
Arne Slot has said that he isn't planning on using Calvin Ramsay, even though Liverpool has some injury problems at right-back.
The Reds are heading to Sunderland on Wednesday night with a few defensive selection issues.
Jeremie Frimpong and Conor Bradley, the team's first and second choices for right-back, are both injured. Dominik Szoboszlai, who can also play on that side of the defence, is suspended.
Joe Gomez might be back from his injury, but his return is still uncertain, and Slot will also be without centre-back Giovanni Leoni.
When asked about Ramsay at a press conference on Tuesday, Slot said, Usually, if you lose a game, the players who aren't playing suddenly seem like the best ones. It happens everywhere.
This is another example. I want to support all my players. I've picked other players until now, and I'll continue to do that tomorrow.
Slot mentioned that Gomez could be back and that midfielders Curtis Jones and Wataru Endo could also play right-back.
Liverpool does have Calvin Ramsay, a right-back, available in the squad.
The Scotland international joined from Aberdeen in 2022 but has only played three times for the first team and hasn't yet played in the Premier League.
It doesn’t look like Ramsay will get a chance on Wednesday, as Slot explained why he doesn’t plan to pick him.
Joe hasn't practised with us yet. 'I think he'll be back today,' Slot said.
If Joe can't start, we're missing four players who can play right-back. Curtis and Wata have played there before, so we've had six different right full-backs.
Ramsay signed with Liverpool for over £4m under Jurgen Klopp but has spent time on loan at Preston, Bolton, Wigan, and Kilmarnock.
He's been with the first team this season, sitting on the bench during Sunday's loss to Manchester City at Anfield.
That was the eleventh time Ramsay has been on the bench in the Premier League this season, and he hasn't been used.
