"Liverpool are considering making a move for Sunderland defender Lutsharel Geertruida, who is at the Stadium of Light from RB Leipzig on loan. Fabrizio Romano reports the Reds could either look to take over the 25-year-old's loan agreement, or sign him permanently. Geertruida was Arne Slot's captain at Feyenoord, and can play either right back or center back, two positions in which Liverpool have struggled to cover in recent weeks."
"Meanwhile, Liverpool are set to battle Chelsea in the race to land Rennes center back Jérémy Jacquet, according TalkSPORT. Chelsea had already agreed personal terms with the 20-year-old defender earlier this month ahead of a move that could cost around €60 million at the end of the season, but Liverpool are now accelerating their plans after missing out on to Manchester City. Rennes are adamant that Jacquet won't leave the club in January, so it's down to the two English clubs to see who can thrash out a deal."
"Atletico Madrid are hoping to beat Fenerbahce to the signing of Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman after having matched the Turkish club's bid of €35 million, plus €5 million in add-ons, according to Fabrizio Romano. Atleti look to have stolen a march on Fenerbahce, who are yet to agree terms or bank guarantees. The switch could have a ripple effect, as Lookman's arrival could see Argentina striker Julián Álvarez move to Arsenal or Barcelona in the summer."
Liverpool are exploring moves to strengthen their defense by pursuing Lutsharel Geertruida from Sunderland, either by taking over his loan from RB Leipzig or signing him permanently. Geertruida, 25, can play right back or center back and captained Feyenoord under Arne Slot. Liverpool also plan to accelerate interest in Rennes center back Jérémy Jacquet and could face competition from Chelsea, though Rennes insist Jacquet will not leave in January. Atletico Madrid have matched Fenerbahce's bid for Ademola Lookman, a transfer that could trigger further summer moves for other forwards. A striker declined Juventus to remain in the Saudi Pro League.
