Liverpool are closely monitoring **Nico Schlotterbeck** after the defender confirmed he will not be signing an immediate contract extension with **Borussia Dortmund**.

According to reports, the Reds are considering making a move for the German international either in **January** or during the **summer transfer window**. 

Schlotterbeck has emerged as a leading candidate to eventually succeed **Virgil van Dijk** at the heart of Liverpool’s defence.

The club’s growing injury concerns, particularly **Leoni’s recent setback**, could accelerate the timing of the transfer as Arne Slot looks to strengthen his backline.

Liverpool’s recruitment team are said to be keeping a close eye on Schlotterbeck’s situation, with Dortmund potentially open to negotiations if the right offer arrives.
