Liverpool manager Arne Slot targets Bayer Leverkusen’s dynamic right-back Jeremie Frimpong to replace Trent Alexander-Arnold, aiming for a transformative signing at Anfield.
Trent Alexander-Arnold emerged from Liverpool’s youth system and quickly became a cornerstone of the first team. He registered 349 appearances, scored 22 goals, and provided 87 assists. His contributions powered Liverpool to Premier League, FA Cup, EFL Cup, and Champions League triumphs.
Liverpool currently sits 12 points clear of Arsenal, fueling high expectations for another trophy-winning campaign. The club’s commanding position reinforces hopes that star players will continue to shine and collect winners’ medals.
Rumors now swirl that Alexander-Arnold could leave for Real Madrid on a free transfer after rejecting a new contract. Spanish media and DefensaCentral maintain that the 26-year-old will eventually showcase his talents at the Bernabéu.
Manager Arne Slot wastes no time planning for the future. He instructed FSG, as noted by fotnet24.net, to secure Bayer Leverkusen’s right-back Jeremie Frimpong. Slot demands a fee of €40 million (£33.5m, $43.5m), which equals the player’s release clause.
Jeremie Frimpong stands out as a rising star. The 24-year-old Netherlands international rose through Manchester City’s youth system before joining Bayer from Celtic in 2021. He recorded four goals and 11 assists in 40 appearances this season and played a key role in winning the Bundesliga title.
Other top clubs also have their eyes on Frimpong. Defending champions Manchester City monitor his progress closely, while Real Madrid adds him to their shortlist if they miss out on signing Alexander-Arnold.
Meanwhile, Liverpool explores further transfer options. Reports suggest Bournemouth’s left-back Milos Kerkez could join, while interest grows in midfielder Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad. Liverpool also faces potential departures, with Darwin Nunez reportedly unhappy, and Celtic targeting midfielder Wataru Endo amid bids from four clubs.
