A Sky Sports journalist, Florian Plettenberg, has offered fresh insight into Liverpool’s reported interest in Borussia Dortmund defender Nico Schlotterbeck — and it appears there’s no active pursuit from the Reds at this stage.
Despite ongoing rumours suggesting the Premier League side were weighing up a move for the German international, Plettenberg insists Liverpool have not made any formal approach or opened talks with Dortmund. The Bundesliga club are instead focused on securing Schlotterbeck’s future with a new contract.
Elsewhere, Bayern Munich have emerged as possible contenders for the centre-back, particularly as they assess their own defensive situation. Reports claim the Bavarian giants are monitoring Schlotterbeck closely, though no official bid has been made.
For Liverpool, the search for a defensive reinforcement continues amid uncertainty surrounding Ibrahima Konaté and growing scrutiny of their backline. While Schlotterbeck remains highly rated for his composure, passing range, and tactical awareness, the latest Sky Sports update makes clear that Liverpool are not currently in the race to sign him.
That said, the situation could evolve ahead of the next transfer window as Liverpool continue to explore defensive options to strengthen Arne Slot’s squad.
