Dutch Speedster Emerges as Top Target Amid Real Madrid’s Pursuit of Reds’ Star
Liverpool have begun early talks to sign Bayer Leverkusen’s dynamic right-back Jeremie Frimpong, as Trent Alexander-Arnold’s potential exit to Real Madrid looms.
The 24-year-old Dutch international, who has a £34 million release clause in his contract, is seen as an ideal fit for new manager Arne Slot’s system. With Alexander-Arnold’s future uncertain—his deal expires next summer and no extension has been agreed—Liverpool are preparing for life without their homegrown star.
Frimpong’s attacking prowess and blistering pace make him a natural successor, mirroring Alexander-Arnold’s influence in the final third. Having risen through Manchester City’s academy before flourishing at Celtic and then Leverkusen, Frimpong has attracted interest from several Premier League giants, including Chelsea, Arsenal, and Manchester United.
Liverpool’s interest is reportedly serious, with initial discussions already underway. The Reds see Frimpong as a cost-effective option, especially with Conor Bradley ready to step up as first-choice right-back.
Former Celtic boss Neil Lennon once hailed Frimpong as “one of the best kids I’ve seen,” praising his speed, end product, and fearless attitude. Ex-Celtic captain Scott Brown also raved about his relentless energy, recalling how he “turned the turbos on” against some of Scotland’s quickest wingers.
If Alexander-Arnold departs, Liverpool could move quickly to trigger Frimpong’s clause—a bargain in today’s market for a player of his calibre. With Slot keen to reshape his squad, the Dutch defender might soon be trading Bundesliga glory for Anfield’s famous Kop.
