Trent Alexander-Arnold provided a glimpse on Wednesday night of what Liverpool would miss if he leaves the club at the end of the season. He came on in the second half against Newcastle United and set up two goals for Mohamed Salah in the 3-3 draw. However, there is an increasing possibility that he is playing his last season at Anfield.
Alexander-Arnold has yet to sign a new contract despite the negotiations dragging on for months. His priority is to stay at Anfield but there has been no breakthrough in talks between his representatives and the club,
Liverpool have offered him a contract that would make him the highest-paid player in the Premier League. However, the defender has not made a final decision on his future yet.
Real Madrid are prepared to sign him on a free transfer and are ready to offer him a massive financial package along with the glamour that comes with being a Los Blancos player.
Liverpool are still pushing to convince him but patience is running thin. The club are considering moving on from the negotiations and finalising the arrival of his replacement.
Jeremie Frimpong is Liverpool’s top target and the Dutchman is also keen on the move to Anfield if he receives an offer on his table.
Liverpool prepared to push their financial limits to sign Frimpong
Liverpool are massive admirers of Frimpong and have been in constant contact with his representatives over a move next summer.
The defender is sold on the move and according to Todo Fichajes, the Merseyside giants are ready to fork out a big fee to sign him.
It has been claimed that Liverpool are prepared to meet whatever demands Bayer Leverkusen have for the defender at the end of the season.
They firmly believe Frimpong is one of the few players good enough to properly replace Alexander-Arnold if he leaves the club next summer.
Wouldn’t spending big to keep Trent Alexander-Arnold make more sense?
If Liverpool have the money to spend big on his replacement, why not re-route that money to keep him at Anfield?
Alexander-Arnold is possibly the best right-back in the world and there is a reason Real Madrid are enamoured by him.
Can you name the team Liverpool sold these players to?
At 26, he has his best years ahead of him and it would make massive sense if Liverpool invested the funds on his new contract rather than spend big on a replacement.
Moreover, Frimpong has had all his success as a wing-back and there is no guarantee that he can replicate his form as part of a back four at Anfield.
