Liverpool are disappointed about the impending departure of Trent Alexander-Arnold. He will leave on a free transfer to join Real Madrid in the summer. However, the Reds are moving quickly to secure a replacement, and they are set to push forward on a deal to sign a new right-back.
Alexander-Arnold was seen as a future Liverpool captain, but the club have failed to convince the player to sign a new contract and stay at Anfield beyond the end of the current season.
His departure will be a bitter pill to swallow, but Liverpool have been preparing for his transfer for a year, and the club have compiled a shortlist of right-backs.
The Reds are considering several options, including one in Brazil, but it seems a decision has been made on who they want to sign in the next transfer window.
Can you name the team Liverpool sold these players to?
The Reds to snap up Alexander-Arnold replacement from Germany
Kiliann Sildillia has been earning praise for his performances at Freiburg, but he is set to leave the German club in the summer transfer window.
He has a year left on his contract, and according to CaughtOffside, Liverpool are showing a strong interest in getting their hands on the defender this summer.
Aston Villa, Brighton and Manchester City have also been keeping tabs on him, but Liverpool have the edge over their Premier League rivals in the chase for Sildillia.
It has been claimed that Liverpool are pressing forward to snap up the right-back as the potential replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold in the summer.
He is available for a fee less than the £14m mark and is seen as someone who can make an instant impact on the Reds team.
Signing a top right-back for a reasonably low fee would be a massive win for Richard Hughes and his recruitment team.
