Liverpool eye stunning move for Bundesliga star as potential replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold

Liverpool’s excellent unbeaten run in all competitions came to an end on Wednesday, as they lost 1-0 to Tottenham Hotspur in their Carabao Cup semi-final first leg tie. 

But the defeat is unlikely to dampen their spirits as the Reds are firm favourites to lift the Premier League title this season, having a six-point lead over Arsenal.

Although the contract situations of their three key players Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold are a concern for Liverpool fans.

The club are yet to agree new deals for the talented trio, despite their contracts expiring in the summer.

Now Bild reporter Christian Falk says the Premier League outfit are considering a move for Bayern Munich’s Joshua Kimmich as a potential replacement for Alexander-Arnold.

Liverpool face the risk of losing their talented right-back amid huge interest from Real Madrid.

The Spanish giants have already submitted a £20 million bid to bring him to the Santiago Bernabeu, but the Reds rejected their offer.

They haven’t given up hope that Alexander-Arnold will extend his stay in Merseyside, but are also preparing in case they fail to convince the player.

Kimmich is a top talent who mainly plays in midfield but can also operate as a right-back.

He has been at Bayern since 2015, winning a Champions League and eight Bundesliga titles.

The Germany international has made 414 appearances in all competitions for the Bavarians, with 43 goals and 110 assists to his name.

But his current deal with the club is set to run out in June, and Liverpool can negotiate a pre-contract agreement with him.
