Lutsharel Geertruida in interest from RB Leipzig, no offer yet for Feyenoord | Transfertalk

Feyenoord is aware of the interest in the 22-year-old defender and is patiently awaiting developments. The team from Rotterdam already sold Orkun Kökçü to Benfica for 25 million euros earlier this summer and could also receive a substantial amount for Geertruida, especially since the defender made his debut in the Dutch national team last March and recently extended his contract until mid-2025.

The right back, who can also play as a center defender, has already been associated with a move to FC Barcelona in Spain in recent weeks. Last season, Geertruida was one of the strongholds at Feyenoord, which won the national title. The Rotterdammer, who was trained at Varkenoord, has already played 151 matches for the top club, in which he was accurate fifteen times and provided six assists.

Leipzig, which was only founded in 2009 and quickly stormed to the top, finished third in the Bundesliga last season. However, as a result, the club obtained a ticket for the group stage of the Champions League, in which Feyenoord is also active.

Feyenoord has so far strengthened itself with Ramiz Zerrouki (FC Twente) and Thomas van den Belt (PEC Zwolle). In addition to Kökçü, attacker Marouan Azarkan was sold to FC Utrecht.
