Liverpool are moving on quickly from Trent Alexander-Arnold, with talks set for Jeremie Frimpong.
The Reds right-back announced yesterday on his social media channels that after 20 years at Anfield – from the academy to the first team, having won everything at club level – he would be leaving the club on a free transfer at the end of the season.
Alexander-Arnold is expected to join Real Madrid in the coming weeks, with Liverpool now tasked with replacing him.
Former Manchester City academy graduate Frimpong – ranked at no.2 in FourFourTwo's list of the best right-backs in the world right now behind Alexander-Arnold at no.1 – is a long-term target for the Reds in defence.
Last summer, it was reported that the Dutchman was keen on a move to Anfield, though Alexander-Arnold remaining at the club for another year seemed to prevent any kind of transfer from materialising.
Since then, the Bayer Leverkusen star has been linked more concretely, with TEAMtalk now relaying reports that talks have taken place over a move recently, in the hope of Liverpool securing a 'quickfire' transfer.
The report states that Frimpong has shown 'willingness to make the move', seemingly acknowledging claims from earlier this season.
Writing for Sky Sports Switzerland, renowned Belgian journalist Sacha Tavolieri stated in December 2024 that he had 'reliable' information that Frimpong has given his 'approval' to move to Liverpool, affirming these latest claims that a deal could be straightforward.
FourFourTwo understands that Frimpong had a release clause at one point during his time in the Bundesliga to be worth around €40 million – but while that was said to expire last summer, another could possibly now be in place.
Liverpool are said to be preparing an offer to Leverkusen either way, according to Empire of the Kop, meaning that they could be about to negotiate a fee for the 24-year-old.
Transfermarkt values Frimpong to be worth at €50m. Liverpool host Arsenal when Premier League action resumes this weekend.

Fabrizio Romano confirms approach for SPECIAL wonderkid
Fabrizio Romano confirms approach made for Kieran Morrison According to Fabrizio Romano, Wolverhampton have made an approach to Liverpool for Kieran Morrison. Romano claims that the 18-year-old has also attracted interest from European clubs. But Wolves seem to be the most interested in his services at the moment. Advertisement Morrison is a promising talent and it would certainly be a shame to lose him. He's been training with Arne Slot's first team on a few occasions this season and has been a stand-out player in the club's U21 side. Having arrived as a 14-year-old from Manchester United, Morrison has been a key player for the club's U18 team and has always caught the eye. One of his best abilities is his versatility. Morrison can play in a number of different positions and this trait makes him a special talent. This season alone he's played as a winger on either flank, has also dropped a bit deeper to play in the attacking midfield role and has even featured as a false nine. Advertisement With 11 goal contributions, he's racked up the most for the club's U21 team in the current campaign. So it's evident he's a talented player. But the pathway into the first team is a difficult one. Given that Liverpool are just on the verge of completing a deal for Florian Wirtz, who plays in similar positions to Morrison, it's not a surprise that he would consider his future. Wolverhampton is not a bad pathway. Morgan Gibbs-White was able to catch the eye there, coming from the academy system. However, going down the European route and joining a club in Germany or the Netherlands may offer an even better pathway for Morrison.

Liam Delap names surprise defender as toughest opponent - 'Everyone says Van Dijk'
Ipswich striker Liam Delap named Nottingham Forest center-back Murillo as the toughest center-back he has faced in his career. The 22-year-old, who has been mentioned as a possible summer target for Liverpool, has come up against Murillo twice this season, failing to score or assist in either of Ipswich's games against Forest. Advertisement Delap was asked to choose between Ruben Dias, William Saliba, Murillo and Van Dijk for the toughest center-back he has faced, and although he mentioned Van Dijk — who Delap also drew a blank against in two games this season — he ultimately plumped for Murillo, who has also been linked with the Reds. "I think everyone says Van Dijk and he's probably been one of the best centre-backs in the world," Delap told Sky Sports. "When I went and played against Murillo, I was really impressed with him. He's still young and he's so fast and strong. READ MORE: Jeremie Frimpong shows exactly what he would bring to Liverpool before Xabi Alonso gesture READ MORE: Footage shows how Dominik Szoboszlai reacted to Trent Alexander-Arnold's boos at full-time Advertisement "Do you know what, I think I'm going to go with Murillo. I really like what I've seen from him this season. I don't watch too much football or anything but I don't want to go with what everyone else says." A $40 million buyout clause in Delap's Ipswich contract became active once the Suffolk club's relegation from the Premier League was confirmed, and it is expected that there will be plenty of interest in the former Manchester City player this summer. Delap has scored 12 Premier League goals for Ipswich despite the team's struggles and there is little chance of him remaining at Portman Road next term. The Reds are interested in signing a new striker this summer, although it remains to be seen whether they plan to firm up any interest in Delap. Advertisement Arne Slot has relied on his wide players for many of Liverpool's goals, with Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez having managed just 11 Premier League goals between them. The anticipated sale of Nunez will help to raise funds for a new striker, with Liverpool expecting there to be a strong market for the Uruguayan after rejecting approaches from clubs in Saudi Arabia during the winter window. Murillo has been a top player for Nottingham Forest this season -Credit:MI News/NurPhoto One of the offers, from Al-Hilal, was reported to have been worth $93 million, and if the club can command a similar fee this summer, it could go some way to ensuring the Reds can replace Nunez with a top-class striker. Newcastle's Alexander Isak would be Liverpool's preferred target but he is likely to prove too expensive, while the Reds have also been linked with the likes of Julian Alvarez, Viktor Gyokeres, and Benjamin Sesko of Atletico Madrid, Sporting CP, and RB Leipzig respectively.
