Liverpool have finalized their first summer transfer by agreeing to sign

Liverpool have finalized their first summer transfer by agreeing to sign Jeremie Frimpong as a replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold, who is set to leave the club.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool is in advanced negotiations with Bayer Leverkusen regarding the summer transfer of their standout full-back Jeremie Frimpong.

The club is currently discussing the structure of the player’s €35 million (£29m/$39m) release clause with the former German champions and has also begun conversations with the player’s representatives.

Frimpong is reportedly eager to join the Merseyside team. Last week, Alexander-Arnold was not included in Arne Slot’s starting lineup against Arsenal, as the Dutch coach opted for Conor Bradley in the right-back position.

Slot even likened Bradley to one of the world’s top right-backs, Achraf Hakimi of Paris Saint-Germain. Following Trent Alexander-Arnold’s announcement of his departure from Anfield at the conclusion of the 2024-25 season, Liverpool has been actively seeking a quality defender to fill the void left by the English right-back.

L’Equipe previously indicated that, in addition to Frimpong, they are also considering AS Monaco’s Vanderson.

The Reds have swiftly moved to secure their top target, with reports indicating that discussions have progressed positively and a five-year contract is on the horizon for the 24-year-old right-back from Bayer Leverkusen.

Arsenal aims to sign the ‘world’s leading striker’ with a lucrative offer of £300,000 a week.

Arsenal is reportedly offering a weekly salary of £300,000 to secure the signing of Viktor Gyokeres, who is regarded as the ‘best striker in the world’.

The club is making strides towards acquiring Gyokeres from Sporting CP, as they seek to bolster their attacking options after another trophyless season.

Despite having a solid defense, Mikel Arteta’s team has struggled in the final third, particularly with key players like Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus sidelined due to injuries.

The absence of a natural striker has been a significant concern, especially after allowing Eddie Nketiah to leave last summer.

Reports from A Bola (via Sport Witness) indicate that Arsenal’s contract offer for Gyokeres amounts to approximately £300,000 per week before tax, translating to around £7 million after tax, with an estimated take-home pay of £135,000 weekly.

REPORT: Liverpool Joins Arsenal and City in £85M Transfer Contest as They Establish Contact with Player’s Representatives.

Liverpool has completed their initial summer transfer by securing Jeremie Frimpong as a successor to Trent Alexander-Arnold, who is anticipated to depart the club.

Reports indicate that Liverpool has entered the competition to acquire Real Madrid forward Rodrygo, who has also attracted interest from Arsenal and Manchester City in recent days.

According to TBRFootball, the Reds have initiated contact with Rodrygo’s representatives in preparation for a potential summer offer.

All three clubs are believed to have inquired about the 24-year-old’s availability, but the player is still considering his options.

Xabi Alonso may significantly influence Rodrygo’s decision. It appears that the Brazilian will delay his final choice regarding leaving the Bernabeu until a new manager is appointed.

Former Liverpool player Xabi Alonso is rumored to be the frontrunner to succeed Carlo Ancelotti. Rodrygo is reportedly inclined to remain at Real until he determines his role in the new setup.

However, he may be swayed by a move to the Premier League. TBRFootball suggests that Liverpool is receiving positive indications that he would be interested in relocating to England.

Rodrygo’s asking price is reported to be €100m (£85m), matching the amount the Merseysiders paid Benfica for Darwin Nunez in the summer of 2022.

It is believed that Arne Slot’s team is open to selling the Uruguayan international, with a transfer to Saudi Arabia being a possibility. Consequently, some of the funds from Nunez’s sale could be allocated to secure his replacement.

Rodrygo is a different style of player, favoring a wide position over a central role, but he would bring additional speed and unpredictability to Liverpool’s attack.
