Liverpool have added Vanderson to their list of potential Trent Alexander-Arnold replacements alongside other names.
According to Fichajes, Monaco star Vanderson is one of the names Liverpool are considering as a potential Trent Alexander-Arnold target. The 23-year-old Brazilian international was expected to leave the French club in the summer, but none of the interested parties met the Ligue 1 side’s asking price.
Liverpool are uncertain whether Trent Alexander-Arnold will stay at the club beyond the current season, as the right-back’s expiring contract is becoming a big source of concern to the club and its fans. They are eager to keep him on board for many more years, but Real Madrid are intent on signing him next summer on a free transfer.
There are reports suggesting Liverpool are making progress in contract talks, but there’s no certainty he will stay. Hence, while being optimistic about extending his stay, the club is also looking at options to replace the homegrown star, with Monaco’s Vanderson the latest addition to that list.
Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong is also on that list. The Dutchman excels in a wing-back role and impresses in the attacking sense of the game. He could leave his current club next summer, and Liverpool will be on his case if that happens.
Fiorentina’s Michael Kayode is another option, and now Vanderson, with the 23-year-old Brazilian international also considered a big target for other clubs. Liverpool might only be looking at those targets, specifically the Monaco star, should Alexander-Arnold make his decision to leave soon.
Vanderson could be on the move soon
Vanderson was tracked by clubs like Tottenham, Chelsea, and Manchester United during the summer, with Spurs showing strong interest in signing him as a replacement for Emerson Royal. They were preparing a bid but may not have agreed to Monaco’s request, which was a reported €40 million. With the demand for the 23-year-old Brazilian international increasing, the price might even go slightly higher.
Liverpool could be a good option. That might seem favourable from the player’s side, considering they are the only suitor currently playing in the Champions League. Should that remain the case, the Merseysiders will be seen as frontrunners for the right-back ahead of next summer, as a January move might be unlikely.
