Liverpool manager Arne Slot might be negotiating a transfer that could salvage his side next season as talks continue with Jeremie Frimpong.

The transfer could go a considerable way to appeasing Liverpool fans following the confirmed departure of Trent Alexander-Arnold, who is set to join Real Madrid this summer.

However, Frimpong’s presence could also solve another problem looming for Slot in the 2025/26 campaign.

For all the fanfare that surrounded Mohamed Salah signing a new two-year deal with the club, the Egyptian forward will not be available to his side for the entirety of the season.

His goal record for a defensive player has also been impressive in Germany, scoring 30 times in 190 appearances.

With Conor Bradley also touted as a long-term prospect at Liverpool, the Dutch boss is unlikely to be perturbed about the prospect of playing the Northern Irishman at full-back, with Frimpong playing ahead of him on the same flank.

That move would also save FSG considerable transfer funds this summer.

Liverpool had been linked with Real Madrid star Rodrygo.

However, his reported £85m price tag is likely to prove a major stumbling block, with the opportunity for Slot to now adapt from within potentially crucial to maintaining momentum during Salah’s absence.
