Liverpool’s Move for Schluter May Not Be as Close as Initially Thought, Says Pearce
A new update suggests Liverpool’s next potential signing might not be as close as some reports had led fans to believe.
Respected journalist James Pearce has shed light on the situation involving Gabriel Schluter, the 16-year-old Blackpool midfielder previously linked with a move to Anfield.
Posting on X, Pearce explained: “Liverpool have looked at Blackpool teenager Gabriel Schluter and rate him, but suggestions that a deal is complete or nearly done are inaccurate.”
This contradicts earlier claims from Football Insider, which stated Liverpool had agreed a six-figure fee and even scheduled a medical for the player this week.
What is clear is that the Premier League giants are keeping tabs on Schluter following his promising development at Blackpool. The youngster made his senior debut last season in the Bristol Street Motors Trophy against Liverpool U21s—a match that ended goalless and was decided on penalties. Schluter scored his penalty, though it was the Liverpool side who advanced.
Wearing the No. 48 shirt, Schluter was also named Blackpool academy’s Players’ Player of the Year for 2024.
Liverpool Still Interested, but No Deal in Place
Though the club still admires the talented midfielder, Pearce’s report suggests fans shouldn’t expect an imminent deal—if one happens at all.
