Lutsharel is likely to remain an option for Geertruida liverpool "Arne Slott wanted him" at Anfield earlier this summer.
Journalist Valentin Driessen commented on the Sunderland loanee today, Relayed by Football Zone. That could see the defender move to Anfield this summer.
Sunderland exit on the cards
Lutsharel Geertuida has spent this season on loan at Sunderland from RB Leipzig. But the deal won't be permanent this summer. A report last week said that Sunderland The decision has been taken to sign the 25-year-old rather than let him return to Germany.
However, the same report indicates that he is unlikely to remain at Leipzig. According to the information given in that report, inquiries have been made in the top five leagues of Europe.
Liverpool are one of the teams who have long been credited with interest. Indeed, multiple reports in England state that he was keen on the move in the January transfer window. That deal never happened because Sunderland refused to give approval for an early termination of his loan deal at the Stadium of Light.
But the Reds have been interested in him for some time. Geertruida previously worked with Arne Slot at Feyenoord. And various reports in 2024 made it clear that Liverpool were in the mix for him.

Now may be the ideal opportunity to revive that interest. And Driessen certainly believes a deal is possible.
"Arne Slot wanted him. Because Geertruida can play in different positions," he said on De Telegraaf's Kick-Off podcast.
"First at Leipzig, and now at Sunderland, he is struggling to survive. And they are not the best club in the world right now. And Liverpool is another step up. Can he handle it?"
"Maybe with a manager like Slott, with whom he has experience at Feyenoord. It will work. Let's hope so for the boy, because potentially he is a good footballer."
