Liverpool transfers: La Liga breakout star eyed to replace Trent Alexander-Arnold

There remains uncertainty regarding the futures of three Liverpool stars.

Virgil van Dijk, Mo Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold are all in their final year of their Liverpool contracts and risk departing Anfield as free agents next summer.

The trio can talk to foreign clubs in January about potential free transfers at the end of the season, piling the pressure on Michael Edwards and Richard Hughes to find solutions.

With doubts over their futures, replacement rumours are already beginning to surface with multiple wingers already being eyed up to replace the talismanic Salah.

La Liga breakout star to replace Trent?

The prospect of Alexander-Arnold leaving Liverpool at the expiration of his contract prompted the team to begin looking for fresh right-back candidates.

If Alexander-Arnold is to leave the club, European Champions Real Madrid seem the likely suitor to sign the defender where he’ll join up with good friend Jude Bellingham.

Liverpool are expected to hold talks with Alexander-Arnold over a new deal with the scouser touted to become the captain of his boyhood club.

A CaughtOffside report states that one option to have been unearthed from Liverpool’s shortlist is the versatile Sevilla star, Juanlu Sanchez, with reports now surfacing with claims that the Reds are interested in one of LaLiga’s breakout stars.

The full-back is contracted at Sevilla until 2026 so the Spanish side may have to cash in on Sanchez to avoid risk of losing him on a free transfer.

The report also suggests Sevilla’s asking price would be €25m (£21m).

Liverpool face competition from fellow Premier League clubs Arsenal and West Ham United who are both interested in securing the 21-year-old’s signature.

The Reds may potentially have their Alexander-Arnold replacement already in their ranks in Conor Bradley, whose performances had fans suggesting he would force Liverpool's vice-captain into a regular midfield role in Jurgen Klopp's final season at the helm.
