Liverpool appear to be preparing for a future without Trent Alexander-Arnold, as speculation over his potential move to Real Madrid intensifies. With his contract nearing its final months and reports from Fabrizio Romano suggesting a transfer to the Bernabéu is increasingly likely, the Reds are already exploring replacements.
According to Empire of the Kop, Liverpool are set to meet with the agents of Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong to discuss a possible move. The 24-year-old Dutch right-back, who has a €40m (£33.5m) release clause, is highly regarded for his pace and attacking output, having recorded four goals and 11 assists this season.
New Liverpool manager Arne Slot is reportedly a long-time admirer of Frimpong, having previously attempted to sign him. His ability to contribute in both defense and attack could make him a strong candidate to fill the void left by Alexander-Arnold.
Additionally, CaughtOffside reports that Liverpool are also monitoring Feyenoord’s teenage right-back Givairo Read, signaling a clear intent to reinforce the position. While Conor Bradley has impressed, relying solely on him for an entire campaign would be risky.
If Alexander-Arnold departs, securing a player of Frimpong’s caliber would be crucial in maintaining Liverpool’s strength on the right flank. The upcoming meeting with his representatives could be a decisive step toward a summer transfer.
