“Liverpool in Advanced Talks for £33m Leverkusen Star, Confirms Agent”
With Real Madrid intensifying their interest in Trent Alexander-Arnold, Liverpool are making contingency plans while striving to keep hold of their No.66.
Liverpool are making significant moves ahead of the January transfer window, as David Ornstein of The Athletic reports that the club has already tabled a contract offer to vice-captain Trent Alexander-Arnold. Similar proposals have been extended to key players such as Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk. However, time is of the essence—if these stars fail to agree on renewals by January 1, foreign clubs will be free to negotiate pre-contract agreements.
The pressure is on sporting director Richard Hughes to secure these pivotal players, whose contracts are inching closer to expiration. Amid this urgency, Liverpool’s interest in Bayer Leverkusen right-back Jeremie Frimpong has gained momentum. Christian Falk confirms that Liverpool has initiated direct talks with Frimpong’s agent, Dirk Hebel, who attended Liverpool’s match against Leverkusen from the director’s box—strong evidence of ongoing negotiations.
While optimism is growing over Alexander-Arnold’s contract extension, the situation remains uncertain. Liverpool’s pursuit of Frimpong, however, doesn’t necessarily signal Alexander-Arnold’s departure. If the No. 66 were to leave next summer, Frimpong, with a release clause of £33m, would represent a cost-effective and high-quality replacement. The 24-year-old Dutch international enjoyed a stellar season, registering 26 goal contributions in 47 appearances—a record that Falk suggests could make him one of the best-value signings of the upcoming window.
