Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremy Frimpong will replace Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold

Trent Alexander-Arnold is yet to sign a new contract at Anfield and it is becoming more likely every day that he will not continue his stay at his boyhood club.

Real Madrid, the main team interested in the 26-year-old, are a club that is hard to say no to and with their current Galactico squad they could dominate football for the next decade.

Scouser will join the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Jr, to name just a few, in giving him his best chance to cement himself as the best right-back in history.

However, the counter-argument is that Trent will become another name among the world’s best players, while he is adored at Anfield and holds a special place in the hearts of the fans, having played for the club since he was six.

The England international could face a similar outcome to Philippe Coutinho, who left for Barcelona and saw his career go downhill.

Jurgen Klopp famously told the Brazilian that if he stayed at Liverpool they would erect a statue in his honour, but if he moved to Barcelona he would simply become another player, which is what ultimately happened.

Liverpool fans will be hoping Trent heeds that advice too, but with his contract expiring in July, it is possible he will not renew, ending his 20-year stay at the club.

However, it appears that Liverpool are not taking any chances and have already identified a replacement for the Scouser should he move to Real Madrid.

According to Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremy Frimpong, he will be at the top of Liverpool’s shopping list if Alexander-Arnold decides to leave. Caught offside.

The report states that Liverpool scouts have been keeping a close eye on Frimpong for several weeks and were present during the recent match against Werder Bremen.

The 23-year-old player played 11 games in the Bundesliga and Champions League for Xabi Alonso’s team this season, scored one goal and made six assists.

Frimpong could join Liverpool, who already have a very strong Dutch squad at the club, including the likes of Virgil van Dijk, Ryan Gravenberch, Cody Gakpo and head coach Arne Slot.

If the Reds were to try to sign the Netherlands international, it would not be cheap, with TransferMarkt currently valuing him in euros.50 millionwhich could be a problem, especially if they lose Trent for free.

It’s also possible that Liverpool won’t sign a top right-back and instead decide to trust Conor Bradley, who has yet to have a bad game for the Reds, to save them from failure. a lot of money.
