Trent Alexander-Arnold’s future remains uncertain at Liverpool and the Premier League giants are considering a move for Bayern Munich’s Joshua Kimmich to replace the right-back at Anfield.
The England star is out of contract with the Merseyside club at the end of the season and is being hotly pursued by Real Madrid, who are confident of bringing the full-back to Spain in 2025.
The The La Liga champions made a move for Alexander-Arnold on New Year’s Evebut their approach for the Liverpool star was quickly shut down by the Premier League side. This does not bode well for the summer as many expect the 26-year-old to look for a new challenge.
Liverpool are expected to offer Alexander-Arnold a new contract in the coming weeks and only then will we know what the defender wants for his future.
His departure would be a huge blow for Liverpool as the England international is a generational right-back and it will be almost impossible to replace the 26-year-old.
The Reds have been monitoring potential replacements and one option is Bayern Munich’s Joshua Kimmich, who is also admired by Man City and Barcelona.
Liverpool are considering a summer move for Joshua Kimmich
Like Alexander-Arnold, Kimmich is out of contract at Bayern Munich at the end of the season, but talks are ongoing over a new deal. If the pair fail to agree a deal, Liverpool are considering a move for the German star, reports Bayern Insider. Christian Falk.

Kimmich could replace Alexander-Arnold at right-back, while also potentially playing in the number six position, a role Liverpool tried to sign Martin Zubimendi for last summer. The German star also has plenty of experience, having won the Champions League among other major trophies during his impressive career.
Acquiring the Bayern star could be a big deal for the Merseyside club in 2025, but it depends on how talks over his new deal go.
