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.
Juric substituted Lookman in the 75th minute of Atalanta's Champions League match against Marseille. Lookman appeared to say something to his boss as he walked past him, prompting Juric to turn and grab him by the arm, while responding angrily. A member of Atalanta staff intervened to separate Lookman and Juric. Atalanta eventually beat Marseille 1-0 with an 89th-minute winner from Lazar Samardzic.
AC Milan were held to a second consecutive draw in Serie A, as they were held 1-1 by Atalanta at the New Balance Arena on Tuesday night. Both of the goals came in the first half, with Milan making the better start. A corner wasn't properly dealt with and as the clearance sat up for Samuele Ricci he lashed in a shot via a deflection for his first goal in red and black.
Florian Plettenberg says that PSG are among multiple "top clubs" keeping tabs on the 23-year-old's situation, with the Ligue 1 side having identified him as a dream signing just a year after he joined Bayern from Crystal Palace for 60 million. The Liverpool Echo has also suggested that the France international could be a future replacement for Mohamed Salah but, despite speculation of a release clause in his contract, Plettenberg claims it doesn't exist and his deal ends in 2029.
Lookman scored 15 goals and provided five assists in Serie A for Atalanta last season. However, the Nigeria international - whose hat-trick in the final against Bayer Leverkusen inspired Atalanta to Europa League glory in 2024 - has spent much of the summer attempting to force a move to Inter. Despite Lookman handing in a transfer request, Inter have reportedly withdrawn their interest.
