liverpool RB Leipzig are now reportedly eyeing replacement options for Lutshahrer Giltruida if they fail to sign the Leipzig defender.
Liverpool push to sign Gil Truida
Liverpool’s perfect weekend could get even better after beating Newcastle United 4-1.
Arne Slaughter Finally showed some of his cards after full-time, revealing that those at Anfield are working hard to strengthen his squad in the final stages of the transfer window following recent injuries to Joe Gomez and Jeremy Frimpong.
trough theory: “I think we’re trying to strengthen the team, not weaken it. But, yeah, there’s still 48 hours. Let’s see where the window ends up.”
Just 24 hours after the Dutchman was admitted to hospital, reports emerged that a reunion with the former Feyenoord defender could be imminent Giltruida.
However, this is not an easy task at this late date. RB Leipzig must reach an agreement to end the defender’s loan deal before Liverpool can agree anything, and then the Reds could potentially sign them.
The move to sign Gil Truida certainly makes sense on paper. He can provide cover at centre-back and right-back – two of Liverpool’s biggest problem areas this season.
Slaughter, who also knows him well from his time at Feyenoord, desperately needs a player with such versatility amid the team’s current injury problems.

Liverpool eyeing Roland Salai transfer
According to Sacha Tavolieri, Liverpool considering signing Roland Salai Just in case they missed out on Geertruida before Monday’s deadline. The Hungarian is represented by the same agent as Curtis Jones and has already played internationally alongside Dominic Szoboszlai and Milos Korczyk.
Should Liverpool make a move, the 28-year-old right-back could be one to keep an eye on. The Reds had the chance to see his ability first-hand earlier this season when he came off the bench to help Galatasaray to a shock win.
However, like Geertruida, this needs to be a deal that moves quickly before the deadline. The men at Anfield are clearly looking to address their biggest depth issue, but they’re running out of time to do so.
