This summer Liverpool expects large team changes that can cause a wrinkle effect in Barcelona and throughout Europe.
Trent Alexander-Arnold is reportedly closing a free transfer movement to Real Madrid with his contract in Anfield, which will end in June.
Los Blancos saw an offer in January for the international of England, rejected when Liverpool made a final push to convince a renewal on Merseyside.
However, the tide seems to have turned, with Alexander-Arnold convinced about a move to Madrid as part of a new career chapter.
That opens a vacancy on the right for Arne Slot with Bayer Leverkusen star Jeremie Frimpong on his radar as an option.
However, the Dutch defender is not the only name on the list of lock, whereby ProSport of the Romanian outlet claims that Rayo Vallecano star Andrei Ratiu is a target.
Barcelona is strongly connected to a movement for Ratiu – in the midst of uncertainty about the next step by Jules Kounde – with the Romania International Impression in Vallecas.
Rayo Vallecano has confirmed their consciousness that large clubs show interest in Ratiu, but they will not easily agree with a sale in the coming months.
A potential European qualification can also strengthen their case to retain the 26-year-old with the latest update that indicates that they will quote every interested party at least € 25 million.
However, that can only be a starting point, because the interest rate of Barcelona and Liverpool can cause a bidding war that could raise Rayo their price.
In addition, Premier League duo Manchester City and Tottenham are also linked to offers if the price is suitable for Ratiu.
Pep Guardiola rebuilt his team for the 2025/25 season, where Kyle Walker may continue after his loan period at AC Milan, and Spurs are on their care for incoming offers at Spain International Pedro Pouro if they miss the UEFA Champions League qualification.
