Liverpool have held advanced talks to sign Frimpong as Alexander-Arnold’s successor.

In an attempt to replace Trent Alexander-Arnold, Liverpool has initiated negotiations with Bayer Leverkusen defender Jeremie Frimpong regarding a summer transfer (via Florian Plettenberg).

When the England international's contract expires at the end of the current campaign, he will depart Anfield.

Liverpool is working quickly to resolve their right back problems, even if a free transfer to Real Madrid has already been agreed upon.

Under Xabi Alonso's tutelage, Frimpong has established himself as one of the industry's top players in recent years.

He is a vital member of the club that is expected to place second this season and helped Leverkusen win a historic domestic double the previous season.

The Dutchman is being watched by a number of teams, but Liverpool is in the lead and may soon finalize a deal.

According to Sky Germany, his release clause is worth little under £30 million, and the Reds are prepared to exercise it.

Frimpong may play as an advanced wing-back or as a conventional right-back. He has attacking flair and adaptability.

The 24-year-old's menace in the final third is highlighted by his 30 goals and 44 assists in 190 games for Leverkusen.

Additionally, he was a member of the Netherlands team that advanced to the European Championship semifinals in Germany in 2024.

Prior to making a move for Frimpong, Liverpool weighed their possibilities.

Conor Bradley, an academy graduate, was mentioned as Alexander-Arnold's successor; however, Arne Slot wants to give the role more depth and experience.

After a quiet transfer market the previous year, Liverpool wants to give the Dutchman a big summer gift after winning the Premier League in Slot's first season.

Frimpong might be Slot's first summer recruit and has previously praised Liverpool as "a great club with history."

This summer, the Reds are also anticipated to target a striker, a midfielder, and a center-back.

Naomi Girma Age 24 Nationality US Club San Diego Wave Girma, widely regarded as one of the top centre-backs in the world and recently named to the FIFA top XI, is nearing the final year of her contract, and speculation has grown that she may leave San Diego. Only the world's wealthiest clubs are expected to be able to afford her this window, and she has been connected with French giants Lyon, although Chelsea are also looking for a central defender after Kadeisha Buchanan suffered a season-ending anterior cruciate ligament damage. Chloe Kelly Age 26 Nationality English Club Manchester City Having started only one Women’s Super League game this season, a move away from Manchester City may be the solution for Kelly to secure more match minutes in her quest for a seat on the plane to Euro 2025 with the Lionesses next summer.

Rodri of Manchester City criticizes Real Madrid's tactics following their Champions League defeat: I only saw one squad.

Rodri complained about Real Madrid's tactics after Manchester City's painful Champions League quarter-final loss, saying he "saw only one team" striving to win. City's European title defence came to an end in agony on Wednesday at the Etihad Stadium, with the Spanish giants winning 4-3 in penalties after a 1-1 draw on the night made the tie 4-4 on aggregate. The holders dominated the match, with 33 shots on goal to the visitors' eight, but Real defended deep to frustrate them and ultimately extinguish their dreams of a second consecutive triple. City midfielder Rodri stated, "To be honest, I only saw one team. They defended well. They knew how to suffer, and we know how resilient Real Madrid is. "But, in my opinion, we should take that many chances; yet, this is the trick of this competition. They understand how to play it. We congratulate them. "We gave all, and there is nothing to regret. This can occasionally be football. This demonstrat...

Borussia Dortmund is 'considering a bid' for Marcus Rashford.

Borussia Dortmund is investigating a transfer for Marcus Rashford. According to the Athletic's David Ornstein, the Bundesliga club has joined the hunt for Manchester United's out-of-favour attacker in the summer. Rashford has become a peripheral character at Old Trafford with the arrival of Rúben Amorim, being dropped from four consecutive matchday lineups. He returned for a home loss to Newcastle but missed last weekend's draw at Liverpool due to illness, and his long-term chances remain bleak. Rashford has also been linked with Serie A giants Milan and Juventus, as well as many undisclosed Premier League suitors.

Barcelona's final attempt to register Dani Olmo will face a court battle.

Barcelona's chances of having Dani Olmo and Pau Victor available for the rest of the season appear to be dwindling. After missing the deadline to remain registered for the remainder of the season, Barcelona delivered La Liga all of the necessary documentation for the sale of their VIP seats, a deal worth an estimated €110 million that would allow them to do so. However, due to the missing deadline, La Liga would not allow Barcelona to keep Olmo and Victor registered, as rules prohibit players from being registered twice. As a result, Barcelona's sole contractual option is to file a court appeal to their decision. According to MD, they have a variety of legal options. They may claim force majeure, which refers to unforeseeable situations that prevent them from assembling the documentation for La Liga, but legal experts say that is unlikely to qualify for that verdict. However, according to the Catalan daily, the most likely argument is that the registration period be extended...

Manchester United defense underwent a minor cardiac operation.

Manchester United will be momentarily without the abilities of summer acquisition Noussair Mazraoui. On Thursday, conflicting sources suggested that the Morocco international had heart palpitations and was anticipated to be sidelined for the long term. According to an update from Manchester Evening News chief correspondent Samuel Luckhurst, the 26-year-old underwent a little preventive corrective operation and recovered completely. The fact that Manchester United views it as a “relatively common condition” and that the player should make a full recovery gives them hope. The Premier League team anticipates Mazraoui's comeback to action in the upcoming weeks, according to MEN. Concerning the player's situation, Manchester United has not yet released a statement. Under Erik ten Hag, the former star of Ajax and Bayern Munich has made ten appearances this season in all competitions.
