5 potential Alexander Arnold's replacement at Liverpool

Liverpool is already searching for a new right-back after reports emerged that incumbent star is poised to join Real Madrid on a free transfer this summer.

The Reds are exploring high-profile options to fill the void left by the England international.

Here are five potential replacements for Alexander-Arnold.

Liverpool already has an in-house option in 21-year-old Conor Bradley.

While he may not yet match Alexander-Arnold’s level, Bradley has immense potential.

He has proven to be a reliable defensive option, being an understudy to Arnold, though Liverpool would need to shift their creative emphasis elsewhere on the pitch if he were to take over the starting role.

Liverpool has been linked with 18-year-old

With Arne Slot’s connections to his former club, Read appears to be a promising target.

Since making his senior debut last season, he has become Feyenoord’s primary right-back, contributing seven assists in 24 appearances across all competitions.

His attacking prowess and rapid development make him a compelling option.

Oscar Mingueza has developed into one of La Liga’s most consistent right-backs since joining Celta Vigo from Barcelona in 2022.

The 25-year-old has showcased his versatility, playing on both defensive flanks this season.

His attacking contributions have been impressive, with three goals and five assists in what has been a career-best campaign in 2024/25.

His experience in Spain’s top flight has seen him linked as a strong candidate for Liverpool.

Another viable option is Juventus’ . The Italian international has demonstrated his versatility by performing effectively on both flanks.

Since breaking through with a relegated Genoa side in 2022, Cambiaso has steadily risen through the ranks.

A successful loan spell at Bologna in 2022/23 earned him a starting role at Juventus, and he has since solidified his reputation as a dependable and dynamic fullback.

The leading candidate to replace Alexander-Arnold is Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong.

The Dutch international has excelled in the Bundesliga, showcasing remarkable attacking output.

His ties to Liverpool’s new boss Arne Slot and add to his appeal.

Frimpong has been instrumental in making him a top priority for the Reds as they seek a dynamic and attacking-minded right-back.

As Liverpool prepares for life after Alexander-Arnold, the club has several viable candidates to step into the role.

Whether they opt for an internal solution like Bradley or pursue a high-profile signing, the decision will significantly shape the club’s future defensive and attacking strategies.
