Liverpool Joins the Race for Barcelona’s Desired Right-Back

Liverpool is reportedly eyeing Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong as a potential replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold, who is rumored to be joining Real Madrid this summer.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool has Frimpong on their shortlist and is well-informed about his €35-40 million release clause.

Barcelona’s Interest

Frimpong, a highly-rated right-back, has also attracted interest from FC Barcelona, who are searching for a new right-back. Reports suggest that Barcelona’s coaching staff and sporting department are united in their desire to sign the Dutchman.

Liverpool’s Advantage

However, Liverpool might have an edge in the race. The presence of fellow Dutchmen Arne Slot as manager and Virgil van Dijk on the squad could sway Frimpong towards Anfield. Additionally, Liverpool’s ability to offer a potentially more lucrative contract could also play a role.

While recent reports indicated Frimpong was leaning towards a move to Spain, Liverpool’s entry into the picture adds another layer of intrigue to this transfer saga. It remains to be seen whether the Reds can convince Frimpong to make the switch.
