Liverpool nears £30m deal for Frimpong as Alexander-Arnold moves to Madrid

Liverpool is reportedly close to signing Bayer Leverkusen's Jeremie Frimpong as a potential replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold, who is expected to join Real Madrid on a free transfer this summer. Alexander-Arnold has agreed to terms with Real Madrid, prompting Liverpool to explore options for his replacement, with Frimpong emerging as a leading candidate. While Conor Bradley has shown promise as an understudy, his playing style differs significantly from Alexander-Arnold's, which has led to the interest in Frimpong, who has contributed significantly to Leverkusen's attack. Discussions between Liverpool's management and Frimpong's camp are ongoing, but no official offer has been made yet. Liverpool may also consider promoting Bradley to a starting role, as he has performed well in limited opportunities. This transition comes as Liverpool navigates contract expirations for key players, including Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk, and Mohamed Salah.
