Liverpool Eyes Defender Lutsharel Geertruida
As of March 26, 2026, Liverpool continues to show interest in Lutsharel Geertruida, the 25-year-old defender currently on loan at Sunderland from RB Leipzig. During the January transfer window, Liverpool was linked with Geertruida and may pursue him again in the summer.
Since joining Sunderland, Geertruida has garnered attention for his strong performances and versatility on the field. He has been highlighted by TEAMtalk as a key target for Liverpool, in part due to the team needing bolstered quality and depth at right-back, especially with the injury concerns surrounding Conor Bradley and Jeremie Frimpong.
Potential Transfer Fee for Geertruida
Reports suggest that Geertruida could be available for a transfer fee of £20 million this summer. Whether Liverpool can finalize a deal remains uncertain, but the prospect of joining such a prominent club is likely appealing for the defender.
Increased Interest from Other Teams
Aston Villa, Everton, Tottenham, and Crystal Palace are also monitoring Geertruida’s situation. As he is not a key figure at RB Leipzig, it is expected that he will seek a permanent transfer away from the club once the season concludes.
The £20 million price tag is considered a fair assessment for a player of his caliber, making him a significant addition for Liverpool. However, Tottenham already has options like Pedro Porro and Djed Spence, raising questions about their interest in adding yet another right-back to their roster.
Ultimately, Geertruida is likely looking for a club where he can secure regular playing time and compete at a high level, with Liverpool appearing to be the optimal choice for his next career step.
