Nico Schlotterbeck could still sign for Liverpool Football Club this summer, following one report from Florian Plettenberg.<\/p>\n

The Borussia Dortmund defender did sign a contract extension keeping him with the Bundesliga giants until 2031.<\/p>\n

However, the terms are said to contain a release clause that can be specifically activated by a select handful of clubs.<\/p>\n

Nico Schlotterberg could leave Dortmund via a release clause<\/p>\n

Sky Sports Germany\u2019s Plettenberg hopped onto X (formerly Twitter) to report that the clubs included could sign Schlotterbeck for a fee in the range of \u20ac50m-60m [\u00a343.5m-52.2m]. A veritable steal for a top centre-half on a brand new five-year deal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Real Madrid, in fact, are believed to be one of the outfits able to prise the Germany international away this summer.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udea8\u26ab\ufe0f\ud83d\udfe1 Understand Real Madrid are one of the few clubs that can activate a release clause for Nico Schlotterbeck this summer. The fee is around \u20ac50-60 million.<\/p>\n

FC Bayern are NOT one of those clubs. If Bayern want him in 2027, Dortmund will still have control.<\/p>\n

While additional reporting from BILD<\/a> indicates that Liverpool are likely to be among the list of clubs included.<\/p>\n

In that case, we can\u2019t totally rule out a move for the 26-year-old centre-back this summer.<\/p>\n

Schlotterbeck could still sign for Liverpool this summer<\/p>\n

Whether Liverpool are prepared to make a move for Schlotterbeck<\/a> this summer, of course, remains a point of reasonable debate.<\/p>\n

With the Reds also understood to be advancing in contract talks for Ibrahima Konate<\/a>, there may not be a desperate need for further reinforcements at centre-back. At the very least, not in the immediate future.<\/p>\n

Between Virgil van Dijk (34), Konate (26), Jeremy Jacquet (20), and Giovanni Leoni (19), we\u2019re hardly short of options.<\/p>\n

Though this situation could quickly change should talks with the Frenchman hit a sudden standstill.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not to say we should outright forget the prospect of landing Nico Schlotterbeck. After all, we do need to think seriously about a long-term successor for our current club captain.<\/p>\n

But you could forgive the club for putting that on the back burner for now to focus on more pressing needs higher up the pitch.<\/p>\n
