Liverpool are already preparing for a potential future without Trent Alexander-Arnold, though the club remains eager to retain the star amid strong interest from Real Madrid.
Injury Blow: A Liverpool player has been ruled out for the remainder of the year, adding to the urgency of securing their squad’s future.
According to David Ornstein of *The Athletic*, Liverpool have offered new contract terms to Alexander-Arnold, with time running out before overseas clubs can approach him in January for pre-contract agreements.
Alongside efforts to renew deals with key players like Mo Salah and Virgil van Dijk, the club faces a race against the clock.
Jeremie Frimpong Talks Intensify
Liverpool are reportedly ramping up their interest in Bayer Leverkusen fullback Jeremie Frimpong, holding discussions with his agent Dirk Hebel.
Christian Falk of *CaughtOffside* confirmed that Hebel attended a Liverpool match, signaling advanced talks between the club and the player’s representatives.
While there’s optimism about Alexander-Arnold staying at Anfield, Liverpool are also exploring Frimpong as a potential replacement.
The 24-year-old Dutch defender, who delivered 26 goal contributions last season and has nine this campaign, is viewed as a rising talent in world football.
A Bargain Move?
Frimpong’s release clause of €40m (£33m) could make him one of the best-value signings of the summer if Alexander-Arnold departs.
Liverpool’s proactive approach reflects both their ambition to strengthen the squad and their contingency planning for any transfer twists.
