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 BernabΓ©u 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 Leverkusenβs Jeremie Frimpong to discuss a possible move. The 24-year-old Dutch right-back, who has a β¬40m (Β£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 Feyenoordβs 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 Frimpongβs caliber would be crucial in maintaining Liverpoolβs strength on the right flank. The upcoming meeting with his representatives could be a decisive step toward a summer transfer.
