Liverpool is on the brink of finalizing a shrewd first signing under Arne Slot’s leadership, as talks are underway for an impressive €32m agreement.

 

Arne Slot is on the verge of making a smart first signing for Liverpool with talks heating up over a €32m deal.

 

Liverpool is said to be progressing in their pursuit of a top target identified by Arne Slot, who could potentially strengthen a crucial area in the Reds’ defense upon his arrival.

 

Reports suggest that Slot is on the verge of reuniting with his former player, Lutsharel Geertruida, as Liverpool prepares to initiate discussions with the talented full-back in the near future.

 

The Merseyside club is expected to encounter strong competition in their bid to secure the services of the versatile defender, as Arsenal’s manager, Mikel Arteta, is also reportedly eager to recruit Geertruida.

 

The 23-year-old’s versatility in playing across various defensive positions has garnered attention from top clubs like Liverpool, Arsenal, and Tottenham.

 

All three teams are currently seeking quality defenders to bolster their squads and compete against Manchester City in the league.

 

Liverpool may face stiff competition from Arsenal in pursuing Geertruida, potentially leading them to make a bid to reunite him with Slot.

 

Despite spending his entire career at Feyenoord, the Netherlands international’s adaptability to the English game seems to be a non-issue for Premier League clubs.

 

Geertruida, a formidable presence on the field and a reliable defender, has not only displayed impressive skills in creating opportunities for his teammates but has also caught the attention of analysts who believe he would be an excellent addition to Liverpool’s squad.

 

Arne Slot, having worked closely with Geertruida during his time at Feyenoord, understands the value of Liverpool’s top players.

 

However, it would be advantageous for him to bring along a trusted player from Feyenoord, ensuring immediate camaraderie within the dressing room.

 

Throughout the previous season, Geertruida proved to be an invaluable asset for the former Feyenoord boss.

 

While primarily deployed as a right-back, he also showcased his versatility by filling in on the left and even playing as a centre-back.

 

Geertruida was seen at the London Stadium during Liverpool’s 2-2 draw with West Ham, sparking rumors of a potential move to Anfield.

 

In an effort to secure the player amidst competition from other clubs, Liverpool has taken the initiative by matching the Dutch club’s €32m asking price.
