According to reports, Liverpool are vying with Manchester City for the services of Bayer Leverkusen star Jeremie Frimpong, who they have identified as a potential replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold should he depart the team in the summer.

However, there are still concerns regarding the futures of a number of elite players, such as Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk, and Mohamed Salah, whose contracts expire at the end of the current campaign.
Following a 3-1 loss to Real Madrid on Wednesday, Manchester City was eliminated from the Champions League, falling to the Spanish powerhouses 6-3 overall.
According to TEAMtalk, both teams are eager to bolster their rosters in preparation for the 2025–2026 season, and they have identified Frimpong as a possible transfer target in the summer.
Since Alexander-Arnold has frequently been linked to a move to Real Madrid and there is now no sign of a contract extension, there is a good chance the Englishman will leave Merseyside at the end of the current campaign.

Frimpong, 24, would undoubtedly be a good stylistic substitute for Alexander-Arnold if he were to go, and his departure would free up a space on the right side of Liverpool’s back four.
Frimpong, who has scored 28 goals and contributed 43 assists in 176 games for his current side, might help recreate the offensive influence of the Liverpool defender, who is very influential in the final third and scored against Aston Villa on Wednesday.
The Dutchman lacks Alexander-Arnold’s distinctive passing range, though, and he might find it difficult to perform in the exact same position if manager Arne Slot asks him to, as Slot frequently assigns Alexander-Arnold the majority of the team’s creative load.
