Liverpool will fix Trent Alexander-Arnold mistake with bargain €25m deal Liverpool tried - and failed - to replace Trent Alexander-Arnold last summer. The homegrown right-back left Anfield after two decades at the club - joining Real Madrid for a cut-price £10m fee. Arne Slot and Richard Hughes initially thought the problem was solved.
A new contract went to Conor Bradley and Jeremie Frimpong was brought on board for £29. 5m from Bayer Leverkusen. The 25-year-old Dutchman has proven to be inadequate in the position however and Bradley remains on the sidelines having suffered a long-term injury.
Midfielders like Dominik Szoboszlai and Curtis Jones have been pressed into action at right-back while Joe Gomez has had more football than he would have reasonably expected. Liverpool looking for Denzel Dumfries deal It now looks like Liverpool’s right-back crisis can only be solved in the transfer market with sporting director Richard Hughes shaping up to conclude a deal. One of the most prominent links has been to Denzel Dumfries.
The 30-year-old Inter Milan right-back is available for only €25m owing to a clause in his contract - which runs until 2028. Liverpool are reported to have tried for the Netherlands’ international back in January but the deal ultimately fell down. Trusted club insider Dominic King has now dropped Dumfries’ name once again - adding that this would be a transfer that ticks a lot of boxes for the Premier League champions.
