Liverpool may consider utilizing Federico Chiesa in a contentious exchange to acquire a former Premier League player this summer.
The club aims to enhance their squad, which has already achieved remarkable success this season.
Arne Slot will need to find a replacement right-back due to Trent Alexander-Arnold’s impending departure upon the expiration of his contract this summer, while Jeremie Frimpong is close to joining the Reds after the discovery of a clever loophole.
Alexander-Arnold will link up with outgoing Leverkusen boss Xabi Alonso in the Spanish capital and Frimpong is understood to be Liverpool-bound to work under compatriot Arne Slot.
According to German outlet Kicker, the clubs are close to agreeing a deal worth €40 million for the transfer of the 24-year-old.
And there’s an added bonus for the Reds, who are losing a home-grown player when Alexander-Arnold leaves at the end of the season.
As pointed out by Anything Liverpool on X, formerly Twitter, Frimpong would also qualify as a home-grown player.
