Liverpool seeks exceptional 23-year-old with 85 goal/assist contributions as Trent’s replacement

Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold has not confirmed his future at the club beyond his current contract, but the team is already considering potential replacements.

To prepare for a possible exit of the England international, the club has been actively scouting alternatives, as reported by sources close to CaughtOffside. While Liverpool prefers to keep Trent in their first-team lineup, they acknowledge that he may envision his future away from Anfield.

Bayer Leverkusen’s standout Dutch right-back, Jeremie Frimpong, has emerged as a prime target should Alexander-Arnold choose to leave. Liverpool’s scouts have been monitoring Frimpong closely, attending recent matches, including one against Werder Bremen.

Liverpool has identified a candidate to succeed Trent Alexander-Arnold

Dutch manager Arne Slot is reportedly very keen on Frimpong, and for good reason. According to transfermarkt, Frimpong has an impressive record of 32 goals and 53 assists in 274 career appearances, which stacks up well against Alexander-Arnold’s 23 goals and 87 assists.

With financial constraints and rising interest from top clubs, Liverpool knows they need to act quickly. Insiders suggest that the Reds might enhance their offer with a lucrative, long-term contract to attract Frimpong.

Additionally, there is a player within their current squad who “ticks all the boxes,” as noted by one pundit. However, it remains uncertain if this player would be open to a move to Merseyside. With Xabi Alonso likely to leave Leverkusen at the end of the season, the club’s strong squad could face disbandment.

As the January 1 transfer window approaches, when players out of contract in June 2025 can negotiate with other teams, further clarity on Alexander-Arnold’s situation will emerge. Rumored interest from Real Madrid might have inadvertently narrowed his options.

£66.6m star reportedly refuses Liverpool’s terms despite substantial offer

Liverpool will face Arsenal today in a key match that could strengthen their status as contenders in the Premier League.

Arne Slot’s team has made a strong start to the season, but performing well against top teams is essential.

Despite their impressive performances so far, Liverpool has a significant concern. It’s remarkable that they might lose three of their top players on free transfers at the season’s end.

Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold have been pivotal to Liverpool’s success over the past decade. Two of them serve as the club’s captain and vice-captain, making their contributions vital.

However, if Liverpool does not secure contract renewals, these players could leave for nothing. Recently, reports indicated that Liverpool made a substantial offer to the England international in hopes of reaching an agreement.

According to Football Insider, Trent Alexander-Arnold is unlikely to renew his contract and may be heading to Real Madrid, who have shown significant interest in him.

Last summer, Liverpool placed a £66.6 million valuation on Trent. Losing such a talent without compensation would be disastrous, prompting the Reds to do everything possible to persuade him to remain.

One thing that can be said about Liverpool is that the media often lacks insight into the club’s internal matters, meaning these rumors could simply be speculation aimed at influencing the player.
