Liverpool Preparing for Life After Trent Alexander-Arnold
Liverpool are preparing for the possible departure of Trent Alexander-Arnold, whose contract expires at the end of the season. Despite his deep connection to the club, the right-back has been strongly linked with a move to Real Madrid, where he could reunite with his close friend Jude Bellingham.
Along with Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk, Alexander-Arnold’s contract situation remains unresolved. Reports suggest that behind the scenes, Liverpool are coming to terms with the possibility of losing their academy graduate. As a result, they have already begun searching for potential replacements.
Liverpool Targeting Jeremie Frimpong
According to BILD, Liverpool have identified Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong as a top replacement. The Dutch full-back has attracted interest from multiple clubs, and a bid of around £34 million (€40 million) could be enough to sign him.
Frimpong’s attacking qualities make him a natural successor to Alexander-Arnold. He plays an advanced role despite being a defender, making him a great tactical fit for Liverpool’s system.
Time Running Out on Alexander-Arnold’s Future
Liverpool are still hoping to convince Alexander-Arnold to stay, but they are also preparing for the worst-case scenario.
Frimpong played a crucial role in Bayer Leverkusen’s Bundesliga-winning campaign last season, registering 14 goals and 10 assists in 47 appearances. His form has continued this season with four goals and 11 assists so far.
Replacing Alexander-Arnold will be a massive challenge, but Liverpool may have waited too long to secure a new deal for him. Now, they must act quickly in the transfer market, with Frimpong emerging as their top candidate.
