It looks like Nico Schlotterbeck won't be joining Liverpool this window after talks with Dortmund collapsed - as reported by multiple reliable sources close to the deal. The defender was one of several names on their radar, but their attention now turns elsewhere after an agreement couldn't be reached. The club had hoped to wrap up a deal for the player in the coming days, but that now looks dead in the water. This move is off for now, though speculation continues around Nico Schlotterbeck, who has also been linked with Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. Across the season 25/26, Liverpool have let in 9 goals in 7 (1.29 per game), roughly in line with the Premier League average. Nico Schlotterbeck would be expected to give them some extra stability and depth for the tougher stretches of the season. Dortmund have also been linked with Kevin Schade and Axel Disasi while Liverpool are reportedly monitoring Nicholas Williams, Kephren Thuram Ulien and William Pacho.
