Fabrizio Romano has confirmed Liverpool are pursuing an ultra-attacking replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold and not only is the player ready to leave his current club, but he\u2019s also keen on joining the Reds.<\/p>\n
Alexander-Arnold<\/a> is heading to Real Madrid, with the right-back leaving a void that must be filled back at Anfield. There have been suggestions Liverpool<\/a> could promote Conor Bradley to first choice and utilise Joe Gomez and Jarell Quansah as cover if a new centre-back arrives<\/a>. But according to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool intend to bite the bullet and sign a replacement.<\/p>\n Bayer Leverkusen\u2019s Jeremie Frimpong<\/a> is a player who has frequently been linked with a move out of the Bundesliga and into the Premier League in recent years.<\/p>\n He was courted by Manchester United during Erik ten Hag\u2019s reign, while interest from Liverpool has always bubbled under the surface, especially when it became apparent Alexander-Arnold\u2019s future could lay elsewhere.<\/p>\n And according to a fresh update from Romano via his YouTube channel<\/a>, Liverpool\u2019s interest in the Dutch international for the upcoming summer transfer window is \u201cgenuine.\u201d<\/p>\n What\u2019s more, Romano revealed a potential move to Liverpool has already cleared one hurdle, with the 24-year-old believing the time is right to conclude his chapter in Leverkusen and move on to bigger and better things.<\/p>\n After confirming Frimpong\u2019s release clause is worth somewhere in the \u20ac35m-\u20ac40m range, Romano stated: \u201cJeremie Frimpong feels this is the right moment to go, to say goodbye to Bayer Leverkusen after fantastic years together.<\/p>\n \u201cLet me say that Liverpool\u2019s interest is genuine. Liverpool are exploring this opportunity. Liverpool are interested in the player.<\/p>\n \u201cLiverpool need to replace Trent Alexander-Arnold who will go to Real Madrid and Frimpong is a player they like.<\/p>\n \u201cThere are other clubs in the race, but Liverpool\u2019s interest is for sure confirmed.\u201d<\/p>\n Romano concluded by reaffirming which other positions Liverpool are seeking to make signings in, citing centre-back, left-back, central midfield and striker.<\/p>\n The signing of a new left winger, per the reporter, will hinge entirely on whether Luis Diaz stays or goes. If it\u2019s the former, a new signing in that position will not be sought.<\/p>\n Second green light \u2013 Jeremie Frimpong wants Liverpool move<\/p>\n Frimpong is a player The Athletic\u2019s David Ornstein has also touched upon when shedding light on Liverpool\u2019s transfer plans.<\/p>\n When speaking to NBC Sports, the trusted reporter declared Frimpong is \u201ckeen\u201d on the idea of signing for the Premier League champions.<\/p>\n Ornstein said<\/a> when discussing Liverpool\u2019s post-TAA plans: \u201cIf they went for something different, something more multi-faceted, there are players potentially on the market like a Jeremie Frimpong of Bayer Leverkusen.<\/p>\n \u201cHe has a \u20ac35 million (\u00a330m, $40m) release clause, something in the region of that, as I understand it.<\/p>\n \u201cI also believe that he would be keen on a move to Liverpool, if they decide to go down that route.<\/p>\n \u201cThey will have other options as well, but Frimpong has been mentioned in a number of reports so far.\u201d<\/p>\n Frimpong has put up truly astounding numbers over the past three seasons in Leverkusen. Since the start of the 2022\/23 campaign and while operating primarily as a right wing-back, Frimpong has returned figures of 27 goals and 35 assists.<\/p>\n Over that same span, Alexander-Arnold has returned figures of 11 goals and 30 assists.<\/p>\n It\u2019s important to stress Frimpong\u2019s starting position is more advanced given he\u2019s played at wing-back, though he\u2019ll still bring a gigantic threat from deep if deployed as a more orthodox right-back at Liverpool.<\/p>\n Latest Liverpool news \u2013 De Bruyne, ANOTHER Real Madrid raid and more\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n \ud83d\udd34\u00a0Shock Kevin De Bruyne to Liverpool rumour sparks six-word response from reliable source<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n \ud83d\udd34\u00a0Real Madrid raids on Liverpool and Arsenal set for 2026 and 2027<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n
