Should they end up leaving the club, Liverpool will need to reinforce in all three positions and the center-back in particular has to be a priority.

Last week, we covered a story from BILD about Liverpool being linked with Dortmund center-back Nico Schlotterbeck and a statistical analysis on why he might be one player who is best suited to move to Anfield.

Now, as per an update provided by BILD [image attached at the end], Dortmund are planning to offer Schlotterbeck a new contract beyond 2027 with a significant salary and the promise of being given the captain’s armband to convince him to turn down Liverpool and other suitors.

Thus, it will be an uphill battle for the German club to convince him to stay at the Signal Iduna Park

Even if the club captain was to extend his deal, he can play on the right with Schlotterbeck on the left, which is his natural side

It is not often that a player feels as perfect a fit for a club as Schlotterbeck does at Liverpool
