Liverpool are set to begin a new chapter at right-back — and they’ve zeroed in on Jeremie Frimpong as their top target. According to Empire of the Kop, the Reds are preparing an opening offer in the region of €35-40 million to lure the dynamic Dutchman from Bayer Leverkusen.
Trent Alexander-Arnold has officially announced his departure from Anfield, ending months of speculation. Despite hopes that he would extend his stay alongside club icons like Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah, the 26-year-old is bound for Real Madrid on a free transfer. A shock early move could even see him feature for Los Blancos in the Club World Cup.
Frimpong Fits the Slot System
With Trent’s exit confirmed, Liverpool’s recruitment team have been actively scouring Europe for a worthy replacement. Among the shortlisted names — including Ola Aina, Vanderson, and Dodo — Frimpong stands out, especially with new manager Arne Slot favouring his attacking style.
Frimpong was a key figure in Xabi Alonso’s title-winning Leverkusen side last season. While his form dipped slightly this year, the 23-year-old remains one of the most explosive right-backs on the continent. His pace, flair, and attacking mindset mirror what Alexander-Arnold brought to Jurgen Klopp’s system.
A Tough Act to Follow
Liverpool’s €35-40 million offer is expected to test Leverkusen’s stance, though they may demand more if no release clause is in place. Encouragingly for Reds fans, Frimpong is said to be keen on the move — provided both clubs can strike a deal.
Replacing a generational talent like Alexander-Arnold won’t be easy, but in Jeremie Frimpong, Liverpool may just have found a worthy heir.
