Liverpool intends to lure Frimpong to Anfield in a move that may be worth up to £30 million, according to a report from Defensa Central.
The article also claims that Real Madrid, who are also connected to a bid for the 24-year-old, has set the stage for the Merseyside giants to sign the Netherlands international by concentrating their efforts on signing Alexander-Arnold.
The Reds’ need to sign a new right-back this summer has grown as a result of several rumors that Alexander-Arnold is nearing a move to Real Madrid, putting an end to 18 months of doubt about his future.
Unless he signs a surprise extension, Alexander-Arnold’s contract at Anfield expires at the end of this season, meaning he will be free to depart in the summer.
Conor Bradley might be promoted, saving Liverpool millions on the replacement of the England international.
Frimpong, who can play in any position on the right side, has been a reliable goal contributor for Bayer Leverkusen, reports Standard.
The Dutchman has actually made 123 appearances in all competitions, scoring 25 goals and dishing out 29 assists under the tutelage of Liverpool legend Xabi Alonso.
