TRANSFER UPDATE :Liverpool open talks to sign one of Bundesliga’s best for £50m – Sources
Liverpool are interested in Dortmund’s Nico Schlotterbeck
Nico Schlotterbeck’s agency have held initial talks with a host of clubs looking ahead to a potential move in the summer of 2026 and his list of potential next clubs does include Liverpool, we can confirm.
Schlotterbeck’s current contract at Borussia Dortmund is due to expire in 2027, but he has thus far shunned their advances over a new contract.
Schlotterbeck’s team are not ruling out signing a new deal at the Signal Iduna Park, but he wants to know the options that could be available to him should he move
Bayern Munich have emerged as firm favourites for the German international, but Real Madrid and Barcelona are linked.
But there is Premier League interest too, and we can confirm that contact has been made with Liverpool, who have been on his trail for more than 12 months.
Liverpool go into 2026 with huge central defensive needs and they could very well be signing two new defenders over the next two transfer windows, and Schlotterbeck is very much on their radar.
Unlike two other Liverpool targets Marc Guehi and Dayot Upamecano who are both potentially available on free transfers next summer, Schlotterbeck is likely to cost close to £50million – should Dortmund agree to a sale.
Nico Schlotterbeck to Liverpool
TEAMtalk were ahead of the curve when reporting on Liverpool’s interest in Schlotterbeck back on November 11.
Our insider, Fraser Fletcher, confirmed Schlotterbeck – who was named in three of the last four Bundesliga teams of the season – had increasing chances to depart as his contract winds down.
A lucrative offer, as ever, could tempt Dortmund who are no stranger to cashing in on their best players for huge profits.
A move to the Premier League is more than possible and sources told us Liverpool would have a say in where the left-footer ends up.

Furthermore, the fact he is left-footer makes him extra attractive to Liverpool who will eventually need to replace Virgil van Dijk on the left side of their centre-back pairing.

If you’d like, I can break this down further by competition (Premier League vs Cups vs Europe) or show a list of results from the last 10 meetings.
Didi Hamann has warned Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz that Liverpool could look to sell the pair next year if they don’t improve. The Reds twice broke the British transfer record last summer to sign both players, first agreeing a deal worth up to £116m to land the German from Bayer Leverkusen before parting with £125m to sign the Swede from Newcastle United on transfer deadline day.
However, the pair are yet to live up to their hefty price-tags with Arne Slot’s men ultimately struggling during the first half of the season.
Isak has struggled with fitness issues, having endured a disrupted pre-season at Newcastle in a bid to force through an exit, and has scored just one Premier League goal since joining Liverpool.

Making 15 appearances in all competitions, he boasts two goals in total for the Reds but remains some way off top form, having had to play catch-up following his move to Anfield after a summer spent training on his own.
Meanwhile, Wirtz has shown signs of improvement as he continues to adapt to the Premier League following his return from injury after the November international break. But he is yet to produce a goal contribution in the English top-flight since joining Liverpool, with his overall Reds record standing at zero goals and three assists from 21 appearances.
Liverpool are currently enjoying a five-game unbeaten run in all competitions following morale-boosting victories over Inter Milan and Brighton & Hove Albion, and sit seventh in the Premier League table heading into the festive period – two points off the Champions League places.

Here’s what’s being reported right now regarding that 🚨 claim about Florian Wirtz and Liverpool:
🔥 Latest Transfer Rumour
Spanish outlet Defensa Central claims Liverpool could be open to selling Florian Wirtz to Real Madrid in January or the summer of 2026 for around €110 million. According to that report, this would come after a challenging first season at Anfield for the German playmaker.
🧠 Important Context & Caveats
This is unconfirmed speculation from a Spanish source that isn’t always considered highly reliable. Other outlets have repeatedly stressed that Liverpool still back Wirtz and see him as a long-term part of their plans, despite some slow form.
There’s no official confirmation from Liverpool, Real Madrid, or Wirtz’s camp that he’s actually been officially placed on the transfer list at €110 m. That figure and the scenario are coming purely from media reports.
🧾 Why This Story Is Getting Attention
Wirtz joined Liverpool in summer 2025 from Bayer Leverkusen for a club-record fee in the region of €117.5m + add-ons (≈€136m)—so the €110m figure would represent a significant loss on that investment if it happened.
Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso previously coached Wirtz at Leverkusen, and Spanish reports link Wirtz to Madrid due to that relationship—though again, these are rumours and not verified facts.
🔎 Summary: There are reports linking Wirtz with a potential move and a €110m fee, but nothing official yet — and multiple analysts say Liverpool still have faith in him. If you want, I can pull more detailed quotes from specific outlets or track ongoing updates as the Janua🚨 Liverpool have reportedly placed Florian Wirtz on the transfer list and are seeking a fee of €110 million, hoping to move him on in January.
