Xavi Simons is Liverpool's top target. |
According to The Guardian , Liverpool are planning to add personnel in the defender position, as Alexander-Arnold is getting closer to the prospect of leaving Anfield. Alexander-Arnold's decisive goal in the 1-0 win over Leicester City in the 33rd round of the Premier League felt like a farewell.
AS have confirmed that Alexander-Arnold's move to Real Madrid on a free transfer in the summer is only a matter of time. Alexander-Arnold's departure will leave a huge void in Liverpool's squad, as he is one of the most unique players in modern football.
Alexander-Arnold's ability to drive attacks from right-back is rare. Young talent Conor Bradley could be an alternative to Slot in that position, but the Reds will need to add at least one or two more names in defence or midfield.
Bayer Leverkusen's Jeremie Frimpong and Nottingham Forest's Ola Aina are two potential names for Liverpool at the moment. In addition, RB Leipzig's attacking midfielder Xavi Simons is also considered a top target for the team.
The problem is the transfer fee. Frimpong, Ola Aina and Xavi Simons are all valued at astronomical sums by their respective clubs. Of the three, Xavi Simons is the most expensive. Leipzig value Simons at around €100m (£87m), just a year after signing him from Paris Saint-Germain for €50m (£43m).
Liverpool's board is even optimistic that if they sign Simons, they won't need to sign another defender to replace Arnold. The pursuit of Simons shows that Liverpool are preparing for a complete revolution in their playing style.
The Dutch midfielder will certainly be a suitable piece for "The Kop", in the context that the club also owns many names from the land of tulips such as coach Slot, Van Dijk, Gakpo or Gravenberch.
