Liverpool is already working on restructuring its defense and has a clear target: Jeremie Frimpong. With Trent Alexander-Arnold getting closer to a free agent move to Real Madrid, the club's sports management has set their sights on the Bayer Leverkusen full-back to take his place in the starting eleven next season.
Frimpong, a key player in Xabi Alonso's system, has proven himself to be an attacking-minded full-back, a profile that fits Liverpool's style of play. His performance in the Bundesliga has been outstanding, with four goals and eleven assists in the 40 matches he has played this season. At 24 years old, he is considered one of the most promising full-backs in European football.
Frimpong, Arne Slot's top desire
Frimpong's contract with Leverkusen runs until 2028, but his departure wouldn't be impossible. His market value is around 40 million euros, a figure that Liverpool would be willing to pay to ensure a smooth transition in case Alexander-Arnold leaves. Furthermore, the arrival of the Dutchman would further strengthen the presence of Dutch players in the team, alongside Virgil van Dijk, Cody Gakpo, and Ryan Gravenberch.
Manager Arne Slot, set to take charge at Anfield, is well-versed in Dutch football and sees Frimpong as the ideal full-back for his project. With Alexander-Arnold's imminent move to Santiago Bernabéu, Liverpool is speeding up negotiations to secure the signing of Leverkusen's defender and maintain competitiveness on their right flank.
