It’s evident that he wants the 24-year-old to make the move to Anfield.
Liverpool already has a notable Dutch presence with Cody Gakpo, Ryan Gravenberch, and Virgil van Dijk in the squad, and Jeremie Frimpong could be the next addition.
Ola Aina
Ola Aina has been one of the Premier League’s top-performing full-backs this season, playing a key role for a Nottingham Forest team with a shot at Champions League qualification.
Although his contract was set to expire this summer, a clause triggered a one-year extension after Forest secured their Premier League status.
Given that, and considering he turns 29 this year, Liverpool is unlikely to pursue him, as their transfer strategy typically focuses on players aged mid-20s or younger.
Conor Bradley
Should Liverpool choose to promote Conor Bradley to the starting right-back role, they’d likely opt for a lower-profile signing to offer depth and competition rather than chasing names like Frimpong or Aina.
Bradley has shown promise in his appearances for the Reds and has the qualities needed to step into Trent Alexander-Arnold’s role, even though his playing style differs.
While he isn’t a direct replica of Alexander-Arnold, Bradley brings his own attacking strengths. Trusting him as the first choice would be a brave decision by Slot, especially given Bradley’s injury issues this season. Still, Liverpool may need to adjust their approach to replacing Alexander-Arnold, especially since they won’t receive a transfer fee for him.
