🚨 LIVERPOOL MAKE MOVE: FSG Contact “Aerial Monster” Kiliann Sildillia for Cut-Price Deal
With Trent Alexander-Arnold Madrid-bound, Liverpool eye Freiburg’s Kiliann Sildillia as a £12m defensive upgrade. Could this underrated star be Arne Slot’s first masterstroke?
Here’s the full lowdown:
Liverpool are preparing for life without Trent Alexander-Arnold, who’s reportedly set for a free transfer to Real Madrid. In response, FSG and new sporting director Richard Hughes have contacted the agents of 22-year-old Kiliann Sildillia, Freiburg’s physical right-back known for dominating in the air and putting in gritty defensive work.
Despite only 6 goal contributions in 102 matches, Sildillia ranks top 1% in aerial duels, top 6% in blocks and clearances, and top 14% in interceptions across Europe’s top five leagues. His aggression and consistency could give Conor Bradley strong competition or even edge him out for the starting role.
At just £12m, he represents serious value—a potential steal considering his age, physicality, and experience. Injury niggles are the only concern, but nothing long-term so far. With other targets like Jeremie Frimpong commanding far higher fees, Sildillia could be the smart money option to bolster Arne Slot’s new era.
