Media watchLiverpool open talks for defender on loan at Sunderland

Geertruida played under Reds boss Arne Slot at Feyenoord and is currently halfway through a season-long loan spell at Sunderland from RB Leipzig, but talks are said to have taken place over a switch to Anfield.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool have opened talks to sign Geertruida. The Netherlands international, who can play at right-back, centre-back and in midfield, is currently on a straight loan at Sunderland from RB Leipzig.

Ben Jacobs has added that Liverpool would take over Geertruida's loan for the remainder of the season having been presented with the 'opportunity' to sign him in recent days.
