"Liverpool's January transfer window is shaping up to be one of the most decisive in recent memory, with manager Arne Slot and the club's hierarchy preparing for a significant reshuffle to stabilise their faltering season. Their latest defeat against Nottingham Forest, which came at Anfield, has demoted them to the bottom half of the Premier League table for the first time this season. Now sitting in 11th position in the league, their Premier League title defense is falling apart and in a completely extraordinary manner."
"Schlotterbeck's blend of tactical acumen and leadership makes him a compelling option, particularly given Dortmund's openness to negotiations if a substantial bid arrives. Another prominent target is Antonio Silva of Benfica, one of Europe's brightest young defensive talents. At just 22 years old, Silva is viewed as a long-term investment who could anchor Liverpool's backline for the next decade. His performances in the Portuguese league and Champions League have drawn interest"
Liverpool sit 11th in the Premier League after a home defeat to Nottingham Forest and face a destabilising run that threatens their title defence. The club has prioritised signing a top-level centre-back in the January window following a string of defensive lapses. Sporting director Richard Hughes and the recruitment team have compiled a shortlist of defensive targets led by Marc Guehi, who is emerging as the frontrunner after consistent performances and prior links. Borussia Dortmund's Nico Schlotterbeck is monitored for tactical acumen and leadership, while Benfica's 22-year-old Antonio Silva is viewed as a long-term investment attracting competition from top clubs. Competition for Silva includes Manchester United and Real Madrid, and negotiations for Schlotterbeck may require a substantial bid.
