Liverpool is actively pursuing a new right-back to fill the gap left by Trent Alexander Arnold.
England International has announced that it will leave the club this summer after refusing to sign a new contract.
The Premier League winner is set to lose one of the most important players in the club.
Alexander Arnold is most likely heading to La Liga to join Real Madrid.
Naturally, the Merseyside Club has begun to consider options to replace the offensive fullback.
The Arne Slot already has the option of Conor Bradley as a ready alternative to Alexander-Arnold, but we want to add depth and quality to the right back position.
Liverpool identify Alexander Arnold alternatives
According to KOP’s Empire, the Merseyside Club has made Jeremy Fripon the main target of Bayer Lebakusen.
The 24-year-old Dutch International stands out in the Bundesliga for his electrical pace, relentless energy and ability to contribute in the future.
During the 2023/24 season, Frimon played a key role in Leverkusen’s success, contributing to impressive numbers of goals and assists from the role of the wingback.
Liverpool is preparing opening bids estimated to be in the 35 million to 400,000 euros (29.8-34.1 million pounds) region, with optimism likely to expand and trade.
Sources close to the players suggest that Frimon is interested in switching the Premier League and is particularly keen on the opportunity to play at Anfield.
Liverpool has several options on their list
While personal terms are unlikely to be a major stumbling, Liverpool also notes the potential competition and the unpredictable nature of transfer negotiations.
Despite their strong interest in Frimon, Liverpool wisely lined up backup options in case the deal doesn’t come true.
Among the alternatives considered are Oraaina from Nottingham Forest, Dodo from Fiorentina, and Vanderson from Monaco.
With the summer transfer period approaching, Liverpool decides to complete the right-back situation early, ensuring a smooth transition into a new era without Alexander Arnold.
