Frimpong has told Leverkusen that he wants to leave the club.

Sky Sports News had previously reported the defender would be happy to move to Anfield if the club decided to sign a right-back to replace Trent Alexander-Arnold this summer.

Alexander-Arnold announced last week he will leave the club when his contract expires on 30 June.

Conor Bradley, 21, is ending the season as Liverpool's first-choice right-back as they plan for the future without Alexander-Arnold.

Real yet to make Liverpool a formal for Trent

Real Madrid have still not made an offer to sign Alexander-Arnold early, a week after contacting Liverpool to ask about the right-back playing for them in the Club World Cup next month.

The England international is joining Real Madrid as a free agent, but they want him to move at the start of June so he can play in FIFA's new expanded month-long 32-team tournament.

Madrid need to make an offer to sign the player early if they want him to feature in their group games in the United States.

They called Liverpool last Monday evening within hours of Alexander-Arnold's 10am departure announcement.

They discussed his early release but did not make an offer.

Alexander-Arnold received a hostile reception from sections of the Anfield crowd when he came on as a second-half substitute in Sunday's 2-2 draw with Arsenal.

Real Madrid also want Xabi Alonso to be their new head coach to replace Carlo Ancelotti by the time they fly to the United States to prepare for their opening game against Al Hilal in Miami on June 18.

Alonso announced on Friday that he would be leaving Bayer Leverkusen at the end of the season.
