Liverpool back Trent Alexander-Arnold He is in the last months of his contract and with real Madrid With his services circling as a free agent next summer, there is still no guarantee over his continuity at Anfield beyond this season.
Arne Slot will be sweating at the prospect of losing one of his best players to a Bosman transferalthough now claims have arisen about the signing of his replacement. Caught offside reported Liverpool are believed to have an agreement with Inter Milan's Denzel Dumfries to bring him to Anfield on a free next year.
The Nerazzurri believe that their right-back is not willing to renew his contract, as he has already agreed to move to the first division giants given that his contract, like Alexander-Arnold's, expires at the end of the season.
The finer details of the Reds' proposal to Dumfries are yet to be clarified, but the move should be financially viable for teams like Liverpool. He is earning just £2.7 million one year with the Serie A side, and even taking into account a significant pay rise, the right-back should still be within Liverpool's wage structure.
Dumfries is best suited to replace Alexander-Arnold
The capture of Denzel Dumfries as a free agent would significantly alleviate the pain Liverpool would feel if Trent Alexander-Arnold leaves the club after the expiration of his contract.
Aside from the financial aspect, Dumfries' offensive profile is also very similar to Alexander-Arnold's. He has also played as a winger quite often and excelled in the final third, as well as being impressive in defense and featuring in Inter's low block for a few years.
One factor that may be worrying is Dumfries' age, as he will turn 29 next summer, which will make him three years older than Alexander-Arnold, but he should still give Liverpool at least another three or four years of senior football. first level.
However, any move to Anfield for the former PSV Eindhoven star will depend on Alexander-Arnold's future. Liverpool will do everything they can to tie their academy graduate to a long-term contract. If his attempts fail, Dumfries would be an excellent replacement on a free transfer.
