Liverpool Eyeing Right-Back Reinforcements Amid Trent Alexander-Arnold Exit Speculation
Liverpool could prioritize signing a new right-back in the upcoming summer transfer window, as speculation surrounding Trent Alexander-Arnold’s potential departure from Anfield intensifies.
With just three months left on his contract and long-standing interest from Real Madrid, the possibility of the Reds’ vice-captain moving to Spain has gained traction.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano recently stated that a move to the Bernabéu is now “on,” making Alexander-Arnold’s exit seem more likely than ever.
Liverpool Set to Meet Frimpong’s Representatives
If Alexander-Arnold leaves, Conor Bradley would be Liverpool’s only senior natural right-back. In preparation for a potential departure, Liverpool’s hierarchy is reportedly set to meet with the agents of Bayer Leverkusen right-back Jeremie Frimpong.
According to sources close to *Empire of the Kop*, this meeting will provide insight into Frimpong’s availability, following reports from Bundesliga expert Christian Falk that incoming Liverpool manager Arne Slot has maintained contact with the 24-year-old and had hoped to sign him last summer.
Frimpong a Strong Candidate to Replace Alexander-Arnold
Liverpool are also said to be monitoring Feyenoord’s Givairo Read (CaughtOffside), further indicating that strengthening the right-back position is a priority.
Frimpong, who has a reported €40m (£33.5m) release clause at Leverkusen, presents a viable option given his high-level experience and standout attributes.
The Dutch international is known for his exceptional pace and attacking contributions, registering four goals and 11 assists this season.
Since the start of the 2023/24 campaign, he has been involved in 39 goal contributions (*Transfermarkt*).
While Bradley has impressed when given opportunities, heading into next season with just one senior right-back would be risky. Acquiring a player of Frimpong’s caliber could help fill the void left by Alexander-Arnold should he move on.
Liverpool fans will be eager to see whether the upcoming meeting with Frimpong’s representatives progresses into a concrete transfer move.
