Liverpool Set to Spend £170m More on Three Players Following Frimpong Transfer
Liverpool is on the verge of completing a deal for Jeremie Frimpong, with the right-back expected to finalize his contract in the coming days. He is likely to replace Trent Alexander-Arnold, who is reportedly heading to Real Madrid before the Club World Cup.
Manager Arne Slot identified Frimpong as a priority signing, and negotiations have progressed without issue. Liverpool has agreed to pay his £30 million release clause, and a five-year deal is already prepared. The Dutch defender is expected to undergo a medical in England later this week, with the club eager to make his signing official.
The Reds are planning further reinforcements as they prepare to defend their Premier League title. Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez has emerged as a target, especially amid uncertainties surrounding Andy Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas. Valued at £45 million, Kerkez is viewed as a possible left-back option.
Another major target is Florian Wirtz, who has a strong connection with Frimpong from their time together at Bayer Leverkusen. With Bayern Munich and Manchester City also interested, Liverpool may need to act quickly and be ready to meet his £100 million price tag.
Liverpool is also monitoring Ajax defender Jorrel Hato. The 19-year-old, who visited Anfield earlier this season, is admired by former Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson. Ajax may entertain offers around £25 million. Whether Liverpool will pursue all three players remains to be seen, but these potential signings could significantly boost their chances of winning back-to-back Premier League titles.
