The Reds are exploring the market for a new right-back after Jeremie Frimpong suffered a severe hamstring tear in Liverpool's UEFA Champions League win over Qarabag on Wednesday.
The Dutchman was the latest defender to fall injured for Arne Slot, who's already seen Conor Bradley and youngster Giovanni Leoni suffer season-ending injuries.
Lutsharel Geertruida, 25, joined Sunderland on loan from RB Leipzig last summer and has appeared in 17 Premier League appearances for the resurging Black Cats.
According to several reports, including Fabrizio Romano's, Liverpool are making work of the transfer of the 18-time Netherlands international. Liverpool, RB Leipzig and Sunderland are in talks, with Sunderland seeking compensation for losing a key player shortly before Monday's transfer deadline.
Liverpool and Geertruida are said to have reached a personal agreement in the last days.
Arne Slot knows Geertruida well from their shared time at Feyenoord, where the pair won the Eredivisie title, Dutch Cup, and Johan Cruyff Shield together. Geertruida played 127 games under Slot and was named captain in the manager's last season in Rotterdam.
