Alexander-Arnold has been a mainstay in the Liverpool team since making his proper breakthrough under Jurgen Klopp in the 2017-18 season, starting the first of three Champions League finals for the Reds at the end of that campaign.

Here are five possible contenders:

Conor Bradley

Having a potential ready-made, long-term replacement for Alexander-Arnold may have contributed to Liverpool’s thinking when assessing the futures of their out-of-contract trio, with captain Virgil van Dijk and top-scorer Mohamed Salah’s deals also expiring in the summer but now tied down to fresh terms.

Bradley is a more traditional right back and has impressed during his spells in the team when Alexander-Arnold has been injured.

He is yet to complete a full season in professional football, though, so it would be a bit of a gamble for Liverpool to go into next season with Bradley as their first-choice right back, assuming Alexander-Arnold leaves.

It’s clear the 24-year-old Netherlands international has impressive numbers, but Alonso’s Leverkusen shape a lot of their structure around Frimpong, enabling him to play as a right winger for the Bundesliga side.

It’s unlikely that Arne Slot, who has only ever played with a back four at Liverpool, would change his system for Frimpong, but that is not to say the former Celtic defender could not adapt if Liverpool tried to sign him.

Should he play for Liverpool under Arne Slot, his position would likely be simplified, leaving him to focus on getting forward and over-lapping his winger.
