Liverpool Make Contact for £56m Sensation Nathaniel Brown
By Live4Liverpool Staff | February 20, 2026
Liverpool have initiated contact with Eintracht Frankfurt regarding a potential summer transfer for their standout left-back, Nathaniel Brown, valued at around €65m (£56m).[1][2][3]
The 22-year-old German international has emerged as one of the Bundesliga's brightest talents this season, contributing an impressive 3 goals and 4 assists in just 21 appearances for Frankfurt. Despite signing a contract extension until 2030, reports from Sky Germany and BILD indicate that Frankfurt are resigned to his departure, initially quoting €70m but now open to €65m or less.[1][2]
Interest in Brown is fierce, with Liverpool positioning themselves as leading contenders alongside Arsenal, Manchester City, Manchester United, and even Real Madrid. Sources confirm Liverpool's firm interest, with checks already made on the versatile defender known for his attacking prowess from the left flank.[2][4]
Implications for Anfield's Left-Back Department
This pursuit signals potential upheaval at Liverpool. Long-serving captain Andy Robertson, signed for £8m from Hull in 2017, is reportedly on the verge of leaving after nine seasons. The 31-year-old Scot nearly joined Tottenham in January for £5m before the deal collapsed due to injury concerns. With his contract expiring in June 2026, a free-agent exit appears likely, though a one-year extension isn't ruled out if no replacement is secured.[2][5]
Brown is viewed as the long-term successor, capable of challenging or replacing Robertson amid Liverpool's squad refresh under new management. Frankfurt's preparedness to sell aligns with Brown's desire for a Premier League move, making a transfer "highly likely" according to insiders.[5]
While Kostas Tsimikas remains, Liverpool's interest underscores a strategic overhaul. Fans await confirmation as the summer window approaches.[3]
