RB Leipzig is on the verge of securing a deal for Feyenoord defender Lutsharel Geertruida, according to Fabrizio Romano. The German club is actively negotiating with the Dutch side, although personal terms with the player are still under discussion.
Transfer Details
RB Leipzig has identified Geertruida as their primary target, especially with Mohamed Simakan reportedly close to a move to Al Nassr. The club is keen to bolster their defensive options ahead of the new season.
Player Profile
Lutsharel Geertruida, a versatile defender, has been with Feyenoord since his youth career. Known for his robust defensive skills and ability to play both as a centre-back and right-back, the 23-year-old has attracted interest from several top clubs, including Paris Saint-Germain and Premier League teams earlier this summer.
Previous Interest
In June 2024, Paris Saint-Germain showed significant interest in Geertruida, amid competition from Premier League clubs. However, it appears RB Leipzig has now taken the lead in the race to sign the Dutch defender.
The negotiations are ongoing, and further updates are expected as the transfer window progresses.
