| 0:00.0 | Let's get into it then. Who is your first pick that Liverpool will be looking at? |
| 0:05.6 | I think this is the player I think who I have been tracking. I think I wrote about him six |
| 0:11.4 | months away also and when we were linked with Geh and other players regarding. So he's the |
| 0:18.1 | Dortmund captain as of now, Nico Schroederberg, if I am pronouncing his name correctly. |
| 0:23.7 | So he has been recently linked because of two reasons. |
| 0:29.1 | The first reason is his contract situation, which his contract situation is also quite similar to when Ike and Gomez. |
| 0:39.9 | He's contracted. Dortmund expires in 27 and there has been no breakthrough about regarding his extension yet. So Liverpool are |
| 0:45.2 | keeping quite a close eye because I don't think Dortmund would want to lose him for a free |
| 0:50.2 | in two years time. They would want to either sell him in 2026 or the idea scenario would be |
| 0:55.7 | that the captain stays beyond. So he hasn't really made a decision as of yet. So regarding |

| 1:25.2 | And then he spent a season alone on the COVID season, the 2020, 2020 season at |
| 1:30.5 | O'Neill, Berlin. And then the Dortmunds snapped him up in 2022 for around 25 million euros. |
| 1:38.2 | So I think the part of the reason why Liverpool are linked with him, I think the last left-footed, I think |
| 1:46.9 | centre-back Liverpool have signed could be a Ragnar Klavan if my memory serves right. So there has |
| 1:53.1 | been a sort of shift towards Liverpool not signing or have they haven't got any right profile of |
| 2:02.9 | left foot at centrebacks to sign to sign from as well so he he he fits all the bill in terms of |
| 2:08.9 | if we look at his percentile among the last and among the big big five league centerbacks |
| 2:14.8 | for the last year or 18 months he has the over 80 percentile for every passing metrics and buildup metrics, |
