Overview
- Multiple outlets report RB Leipzig are willing to sell Geertruida this summer with an asking price commonly cited around €30 million.
- Liverpool, Leeds, Aston Villa, Everton, Tottenham and Crystal Palace are all linked with interest in the 25‑year‑old, setting up a multi‑club contest.
- Geertruida has impressed on loan at Sunderland and is prized for his ability to play right‑back, centre‑back and as a defensive midfielder.
- Sunderland are widely reported to be unlikely to trigger a buy option, which would leave the player free to choose between outside bidders.
- Sources say formal offers are expected in the coming weeks and that Liverpool may have an advantage because of Arne Slot’s prior work with the player and the promise of European football, a factor that could determine whether Geertruida secures regular starts.
