However, the termination clause is not valid for the entire transfer window. According to reports, it is scheduled to expire around the time of the World Cup final on July 19th. It will be interesting to see if Liverpool decide to sign the German defender in the summer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Schlotterbeck has excelled in the Bundesliga and has the qualities to succeed in the Premier League. Liverpool are close to agreeing a new contract with Ibrahima Konate, but no deal has been reached yet. If they are unable to convince the France international to sign a new contract, a German player would be ideal as his replacement.<\/p>\n<p>Manchester United, among other clubs, have been linked with Schlotterbeck.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Download the official CaughtOffSide app to get all the latest news and updates straight to your phone. above <span role=\"presentation\"><u>apple<\/u><\/span>  &#038; <span role=\"presentation\"><u>Google play<\/u><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Schlotterbeck_could_make_a_big_move\"><\/span>Schlotterbeck could make a big move<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">Real Madrid were also interested in signing the player, but no formal approach has been made yet.
