Liverpool will not be signing Lutsharel Geertruida as the defender has decided to stay put at Sunderland following talks with the Black Cats.

The Reds have been locked in talks with Geertruida’s parent club RB Leipzig, Sunderland and the player’s camp, about taking him to Anfield before the transfer window closes on Monday evening.

Geertruida has played under Arne Slot before, working under the Dutchman at Feyenoord, and a deal looked likely to happen.
