Liverpool are in advanced talks to sign Jeremie Frimpong, seeking to replace Trent Alexander-Arnold, according to sources close by.
Frimpong, international with the Netherlands and one of the most promising full-backs in the world at Bayer Leverkusen, has a release clause of 35 million euros.
Alexander-Arnold could leave Liverpool at the end of the season, possibly heading to Real Madrid, which creates a need at right-back. Negotiations with the 24-year-old player are already at an advanced stage.
Frimpong, who was a Manchester City youth player for nine years before joining Celtic and then Leverkusen, would qualify as a homegrown player.
Liverpool are interested in signing Jeremie Frimpong as a replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold this summer.
Frimpong also has connections to Liverpool through Dutch coach Arne Slot and his national teammates Ryan Gravenberch, Cody Gakpo, and Virgil van Dijk.
Frimpong has been a key player in the most successful period in Leverkusen’s history, standing out in the club’s undefeated march towards its first Bundesliga title and the DFB-Pokal last year. The club also reached the Europa League final, where it lost to Atalanta.
This season, Leverkusen will finish in second place in the German league, behind the champion Bayern Munich. Coach Xabi Alonso is ready to join Real Madrid this summer, and star players like Frimpong could also leave.
Frimpong, 12-time international, has played 190 matches for Leverkusen to date, in which he has scored 30 goals and provided 44 assists.
