Top Trent Alexander-Arnold replacement wants to join Liverpool

With homegrown star Trent Alexander-Arnold closing the chapter on his Liverpool career and heading to Real Madrid, the Reds are in need of a new right back with a similar skill-set. Bayer Leverkusen star Jeremie Frimpong has long been rumored as a possible replacement, and The Athletic's David Ornstein reports, via LFCVine, that the Dutchman would be interested in joining Liverpool if they make an approach. Leverkusen won the Bundesliga title last season as an undefeated side and were in the race until this past weekend in the current campaign, with Frimpong playing a vital role last season and an important, albeit lesser, one in the 2024/25 season. One of the best attacking right backs in European football, Frimpong is arguably second to only Alexander-Arnold himself in that regard,...

Liverpool close to signing the flashiest Trent Alexander-Arnold replacement

Liverpool are resigned to the fact that star right back Trent Alexander-Arnold will leave for free in the summer 2025 transfer window to Real Madrid, so they are already lining up alternatives for the 26-year-old homegrown talent.

According to a report from the Daily Record, via LFCVine, Frimpong is "on the verge" of joining Liverpool this season to replace Alexander-Arnold as the new right back. Frimpong is a very attacking-minded player, even moreso than Alexander-Arnold. The Dutch international is capable of scoring goals and assists like a ...

Ranking the 3 best Trent Alexander-Arnold replacements for Liverpool

Liverpool star right back Trent Alexander-Arnold is apparently close to signing a five-year deal with Real Madrid and will leave Anfield upon the conclusion of the 2024/25 Premier League season. So here are the three best replacements for the generationally talented, homegrown Liverpool man, ranked in order from worst to best. 3. Jeremie Frimpong, Bayer Leverkusen Jeremie Frimpong would have been a more popular option a summer ago, but his stock has fallen, even as Bayer Leverkusen remain Bundesliga title contenders in 2024/25. The problem with Frimpong is that he is actually everything people falsely accuse Alexander-Arnold of being. See, Frimpong isn't a real right back. He can't play defense. Like, at all. Frimpong is a winger masquerading as a wing back, and whereas Alexande...

The narrative is already being twisted with Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid

After months of speculation, Real Madrid are seemingly set to secure the signing of free agent right back Trent Alexander-Arnold from Liverpool, and recent reports indicate that the 26-year-old England international will sign a five-year deal with the Royal Whites. Alexander-Arnold's transfer would be the next in a line of high-profile free agent signings made by Real Madrid, whose president Florentino Perez has made it a goal to either sign superstars or free agents - and nothing in between. Like Kylian Mbappe last summer, Alexander-Arnold would fall into both categories as a superstar free agent who has been on the Real Madrid transfer radar for several seasons now. And his arrival would come at an opportune time, as current starting right back Dani Carvajal - the only senior ri...

Jude Bellingham played big role in recruiting Trent Alexander-Arnold

Real Madrid are on the cusp of signing superstar right back Trent Alexander-Arnold as a free agent from Liverpool this summer, ending arguably the most anticipated transfer saga of 2025 before the window officially opens. TAA is a homegrown talent for Liverpool, and yet the Reds are fully expected to lose their most valuable transfer commodity to the biggest club in world football this year. Real Madrid president Florentino Perez had the generationally gifted right back tabbed as his only option at the position, and he accelerated his interest in the England international following star man Dani Carvajal's season-ending ACL tear. Perez also had some vital help. Relevo reports, via the Madrid Zone, that Real Madrid star midfielder and Alexander-Arnold's England teammate Jude Bellin...

Real Madrid think Trent Alexander-Arnold will be the best in the world

The transfer rumors linking Liverpools star right back Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid are so persistent and fierce that, as with Kylian Mbappe's free transfer from PSG to Madrid last summer, it feels like a foregone conclusion that the England international will end up at the Santiago Bernabeu. Fellow English superstar Jude Bellingham's hard work to recruit Alexander-Arnold to Madrid appears to be paying off, and Florentino Perez's desire to sign the world's best players in their primes on free transfers is about to get another big feather in the proverbial cap. There's a lot of optimism regarding the Alexander-Arnold deal's completion at the Valdebebas, and that optimism extends to how Real Madrid feel TAA can help the team in 2025 and beyond. According to Fabrizio Romano,...

Liverpool are already looking for Trent Alexander-Arnold replacements

As Real Madrid push harder to sign their dream right back transfer target, Trent Alexander-Arnold, his current club Liverpool seem increasingly resigned to the fact that their generational talent will be leaving for free this summer. Real Madrid have been even more interested in Alexander-Arnold, a long-time top target of president Florentino Perez's, after veteran right back Dani Carvajal's early season-ending ACL tear. Now, Alexander-Arnold is poised to become the successor to Carvajal just as he hits his prime years and Carva finally enters the twilight of a legitimately GOATed career at the right back position. According to a report from Sky Sports Germany, via Madrid Xtra, Alexander-Arnold's future seems to be so removed from Anfield and so close to the Santiago Bernabeu that...

Liverpool are losing hope with Trent Alexander-Arnold renewal

Real Madrid have been eyeing a Trent Alexander-Arnold transfer from Liverpool for years, and now that he's set to be a free agent this summer, the most powerful club in world football is ready to flex its marketing might and pull by signing a world-class player for the third year running. Two years ago, they brought in midfield phenom Jude Bellingham, and then, last year, they finally signed Kylian Mbappe for free. Neither player had a prayer of joining another club, such as Liverpool, and both are flourishing in the 2024/25 season for the Champions League contenders. And Real Madrid are Champions League contenders again this season as the reigning champions despite losing a bevy of crucial players to season-ending injuries, including their star right back Dani Carvajal, whose ACL te...

Fabrizio Romano has exciting Alexander-Arnold transfer update for Real Madrid

Liverpool star right back Trent Alexander-Arnold appears to be on the verge of a big move to Real Madrid in the summer 2025 transfer window, as he continues to rebuff efforts to re-sign him from Anfield, Now, Alexander-Arnold is close to putting pen to paper on a deal that would make him this summer's dream signing for Real Madrid, who have made a marquee move in each of the past two summer windows.

Trent Alexander-Arnold won't get absurd money Alexander-Arnold would be nearly as big of a get for Real Madrid, as Fabrizio Romano previously reported that the 26-year-old England international was options one...

5 transfers Champions League clubs need to make in summer 2025

Winning the Champions League is one thing, but staying on top and being a legitimate title contender year in and year out is another thing entirely and requires making the right signings at the right times. Here are five signings that the traditional heavyweights - and new contenders - in the Champions League need to make in the summer 2025 transfer window in order to improve their chances of making the leap or building a true dynasty. Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid Listen, Real Madrid needed to sign another right back five years ago, and while Dani Carvajal proved a lot of Madrid fans wrong by showing he has plenty left in the tank last season, he will be coming off an ACL tear in 2025/26 at the age of 33 at a physically demanding position. Real Madrid need a new right back...
