Liverpool face a pivotal summer reshuffle as Trent Alexander-Arnold’s imminent departure to Real Madrid sparks a race to secure Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong, with Fabrizio Romano now providing the latest.

It’s believed that Real Madrid has formally approached Liverpool about releasing Alexander-Arnold before his contract expires on June 30, 2025, to ensure his availability for the revamped FIFA Club World Cup in the United States.

The tournament begins on June 18, with Madrid’s opening match against Al Hilal in Miami, creating a 12-day gap between the competition’s start and the defender’s contractual end date.

It is starting to look like Jeremie Frimpong could be his replacement.

Jeremie Frimpong’s release clause stands at £30 million (€35 million).

The Reds hierarchy “like his profile,” particularly his ability to operate much further up the flank, with the added versatility to provide cover for Mohamed Salah if needed.

Moreover, Liverpool’s decision-makers view the release clause as significantly undervalued relative to Frimpong’s true market worth?

They see this as an opportunity to address the Alexander-Arnold replacement while preserving funds for other transfer priorities.

Now Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that the Dutchman is a concrete target.

Writing on Facebook, the Italian reported:

“Jeremie Frimpong could be Trent’s replacement at LIVERPOOL, as he has €35m release clause valid.”
