Liverpool appears to be getting ahead of the game as they prepare for the potential departure of their English right-back, Trent Alexander-Arnold. They have begun discussions with the agents of 24-year-old Jeremie Frimpong, who now plays for Bayer Leverkusen. According to Empire of the Kop, conversations between Liverpool's management and Frimpong's representatives will take place soon in order to assess the Dutch defender's availability and interest in a move to Anfield.
Alexander-Arnold, whose contract expires at the end of the season, is said to be joining Real Madrid. Recent reports from reliable news sources indicate that a move to the Bernabéu is becoming more likely, prompting Liverpool to begin exploring for potential replacements.
Frimpong, who is currently worth €50 million, has wowed Bayer Leverkusen fans with his outstanding performances. With his incredible speed and offensive ability as a defender, he's already scored four goals and assisted 11 times this season alone, increasing his total goal contributions to 39 since the joining in the 2023/24 season. His active playing style complements Liverpool's style, making him an excellent alternative to replace Alexander-Arnold if incase he departs Anfield in summer.
Frimpong has reported release clause of €40 million which appears to be an acceptable investment for Liverpool. However, numerous other big European teams are also interested in the versatile defender, so the club may face stiff competition.
With Alexander-Arnold's potential departure, Liverpool's choices for a senior right-back are mostly limited to Conor Bradley. Bringing in Frimpong would not only boost the squad's depth, but would also keep things consistent in the right-back position, allowing the team to remain competitive in both the league and European tournaments.
As negotiations progress, Liverpool fans will be keenly observing developments, hopeful that the club can seamlessly navigate this transitional phase and reinforce the squad effectively ahead of the new season.
