"Liverpool's search for defensive reinforcements has encountered an early complication, with reports suggesting that Borussia Dortmund centre-back Nico Schlotterbeck would favour a move to Real Madrid should he decide to leave Germany. According to BILD, the Spanish giants are considered the player's preferred destination, despite strong interest from Anfield. Schlotterbeck, 26, has been one of Dortmund's most consistent performers in recent seasons. His performances in the Bundesliga and European competitions have attracted admiration from several elite clubs,"
"For Liverpool, the need for defensive reinforcements is becoming increasingly clear. Although the club have already secured a deal for Jeremy Jacquet from Rennes, concerns remain about experience and depth at the back. Jacquet is regarded as a promising talent, but he is not yet proven at the highest level. Meanwhile, uncertainty surrounds several senior defenders. Joe Gomez is widely expected to depart at the end of the season, while Ibrahima Konate faces an uncertain contractual situation as the end of his contract."
Nico Schlotterbeck is reportedly inclined toward a move to Real Madrid despite strong interest from Liverpool. Schlotterbeck, 26, has delivered consistent performances for Borussia Dortmund in domestic and European competitions. Dortmund hold Schlotterbeck under contract until 2027, and a fee in the region of €40–50 million could initiate talks. Liverpool have signed Jeremy Jacquet from Rennes but still lack proven experience and depth at centre-back. Joe Gomez is expected to leave and Ibrahima Konate faces contract uncertainty, potentially leaving Virgil van Dijk shouldering the defensive burden alone. Real Madrid appear well placed to compete for the defender.
