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.
