While Trent Alexander-Arnold's dramatic end of the contract to Real Madrid looms are getting closer, Liverpool has to quickly find out who will replace their start, the end of the season.
Real Madrid has loved Alexander-Arnold as a long-term replacement for Dani Carvajal, where reports claim this week that Los Blancos has sent a contract proposal to Alexander-Arnold.
The importance of the Liverpool Academy product cannot be underestimated. This season he contributed three goals and seven assists in all Liverpool competitions.
His unparalleled creativity is shown in his competition-best total of 13 major opportunities created.
Liverpool has two options: buy a proven back or invest in a defender for the future, a dilemma that the Liverpool -boss Arne Slot is bothering.
Option 1: Buy a proven immediately back
Achraf Hakimi – PSG
Perhaps the answer to the future vacancy of Liverpool is buying one of the best in the industry in the current football world.
According to Sofascore, Hakimi's 7.70 rating is marginal better than Alexander-Arnold (7.24), which strengthens his claim to be considered one of the best.
The Moroccan has been performing for many seasons at the highest level and has led his national side to a historic World Cup-Halve Final in 2022.
Surprisingly, the 26-year-old Alexander-Arnold surpasses from an attacking perspective, scores five goals and helps eleven times while creating two big opportunities than the scouse defender.
Interestingly, he balances his excellent attacking game with better defensive statistics and 6.1 Bal Repair records per 90, two more than Alexander-Arnold.
The only problem for Liverpool will be his price tag because PSG runs with his contract until 2029, demand an astronomical amount to renounce one of the totems of their new project.
Jonathan Clauss – Fun
The Frenchman has been a solid performer in Ligue 1 with Lens, Marseille and now fun for the past five seasons.
He surpasses Alexander-Arnold for accurate crosses and finds his target 27 percent of the time compared to the 24 percent of Alexander-Arnold.
While Liverpool, however, revitalizes their team and lowering the average age, the 32-year-old begins to leave his Prime and he would probably only be best to enter into a short-term agreement.
Pedro Porro – Tottenham Hotspur
The Spaniard has difficulty becoming a minute of recently for traces with the return of Destiny Udogie and the outbreak of Djed Spence. This has led to a chatter of a possible movement in the summer.
The inconsistency of the 25-year-old has alerted Spurs fans while he is eagerly continuing in the attack when sacrificing his defensive tasks that recently appears to be the undoing of traces.
Yet his 8.3 last third entries per 90 suggests, while under 11.1 of Alexander-Arnold, suggests that he would be well equipped for making the cracking runs lock back from his judge.
Giovanni di Lorenzo – Napoli
The last third submissions of Pedro Porro (7.2) Challenging Di Lorenzo has been a reliable performer for Napoli for the past six seasons.
The 31-year-old is an Italian international, who fought for them on the world stage and demonstrates that he seamlessly moves to the demanding culture of Liverpool.
But his intersection is not good enough. This season, Di Lorenzo has only delivered 17 percent accurate crosses, under par for the Liverpool playing style.
Jeremie Frimpong – Bayer Leverkusen
The most likely move to Liverpool would say many experts would say that Jeremie Frimpong is currently one of the most popular football perspectives in the world.
At the age of 24, the Dutchman has a bright future for him, but he is already interested in European giants after his excellent versions for Bayer Leverkusen.
Alexander-Arnold beats his attacking output this season with four goals and nine assists in an Xabi Alonso system where he receives a permit to bomb through.
Videos from him who greet Ryan Gravenberch during the international break in a scouse -accent have also fed rumors about a move to Merseyside.
Although, Sofascore's 6.87 rating places him on the list as the worst performing player because he often loses the ball because of his attacking approach.
Option two: Invest in long -term potential
Liverpool fans and experts can claim that the Reds already have a successor with Conor Bradley.
The Northern Ireland International first burst on stage in the absence of Alexander-Arnold due to injury in the 2023-24 season and proved itself as a capable backup.
The 21-year-old is by no means the completed article, which remains in the attacking department, which only helps twice in 22 games.
VANDERSON – Monaco
Brazilian Vanserson can be an intriguing option who has become a promising back since his move to Monaco from Gremio.
According to Sofascore, his 7.13 rating is better than Bradley's 6.78, which points to his future upward process.
Two goals and four assists in 34 games show his potential on the attacking front, including 6.2 last third submissions.
Defensively, the 5.6 Ball-Ball repair of the 23-year-old per 90, Alexander-Arnold tops, which suggests that he could be a feasible option to add to the successful list of Brazilians who have played for the Reds.
Djed Spence – Tottenham Hotspur
Djed Spence is quietly the ranks after he has become aside among earlier managers, is an excellent prospect.
With the possibility of playing left or right and to play and defend comfortably in the future, the Engelsman has been one of the best players of Spurs this season, even though he only played 24 games.
His 30 percent intersecting accuracy in particular is higher than that of Alexander-Arnold, which would be a vital weapon for lock.
With a value of about £ 13 million by Transferenmarkt, if Liverpool wanted to make the move, they could gain the Englishman cheaply when Daniel Levy Ball plays.
Gula Doue – RC Strasbourg
Brother of PSG's wish Doue, The Right Back has promising football tribe.
In just 22 years old, Doue has already settled as a starter on the French side, both skilled and defensively competent.
Its 9.0 last third entries per 90 and 5.4 ball recovery per 90 tones are all -round capacity, which rule above the statistics of Bradley.
