Liverpool transfer update: Jeremie Frimpong’s price tag disclosed as Premier League competitors show interest in the star.

Liverpool players are currently enjoying some well-earned rest and continued celebrations after clinching the Premier League title. Among those spotted unwinding abroad are Arne Slot and Virgil van Dijk, following the weekend’s draw with Arsenal.

Back home, however, tensions remain high as the backlash over Trent Alexander-Arnold’s decision to leave the club continues. A Manchester United legend has now claimed Jamie Carragher shares some responsibility for the negative reaction, accusing the former Liverpool defender of “stirring up” fans with his critical remarks about Alexander-Arnold, who is reportedly set to join Real Madrid on a free transfer this summer.

In anticipation of his departure, Liverpool are already making moves to secure a replacement. Reports indicate the club has entered advanced negotiations with Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong, who has a release clause reportedly just under £30 million. The 24-year-old, who starred in Leverkusen’s domestic double-winning season, can play both as a traditional right-back and a wing-back.

Meanwhile, second-choice goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher is being linked with a summer move to newly-promoted Leeds United. Ireland head coach Heimir Hallgrimsson has encouraged the shot-stopper to find a club where he can play regularly, praising his performances in the Premier League and Champions League and emphasizing the need for consistent game time.

Former Manchester United striker Dwight Yorke has criticized Carragher for inciting negativity towards Alexander-Arnold, suggesting the pundit doesn’t grasp the appeal of a move to Real Madrid. The right-back, who recently announced his departure, was booed by home fans during the Arsenal game. Supporters also chanted in support of Conor Bradley, his likely successor, and sang songs invoking club legend Steven Gerrard to voice their disapproval.
