Report: Liverpool Target £25m La Liga Star After Frimpong Arrival

Liverpool’s summer rebuild under Arne Slot is well underway, and their ambitions show no signs of slowing down. Following the confirmed arrival of Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen, the Reds are now being linked with another exciting talent — Valencia’s highly-rated centre-back Cristhian Mosquera.

As reported by FootballFanCast.com, Mosquera is the latest name on Liverpool’s radar, with the Spanish side placing a €30m (£25m) valuation on the 20-year-old. He may not be a household name just yet, but for those familiar with La Liga’s emerging talents, the Spaniard is no surprise inclusion in such elite company.

Frimpong ready to fill Alexander-Arnold’s boots

The departure of Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid last month for just £8m stunned many, but Liverpool have wasted no time in identifying and recruiting his successor. Frimpong arrives from Leverkusen for £30m and brings pace, dynamism and title-winning experience.

After completing his move, Frimpong told Liverpool’s media channels:“I think this is the best stadium I played in when I was with Leverkusen: the atmosphere, the fans, the team as well. The whole package is great.”

He added:“I don’t need to say too much about the quality [of Liverpool]. They won the league. For me, playing against Liverpool when I was in Leverkusen, really difficult. Really, really difficult. How can I say it? Obviously Leverkusen were still good but you can see that Liverpool is next level.”

Frimpong’s comments echo a belief that Liverpool remain among Europe’s elite.“You always want to play for the top teams as a footballer, as a kid. Of course, when I was younger and Liverpool first came, that was a no-brainer as well, but due to transportation and all these sorts of things, I had to go a different way. And look at me now. So, it has worked really well.”

His familiarity with Florian Wirtz — also linked with a move to Anfield — and Mamardashvili, now confirmed as Liverpool’s new goalkeeper, could provide a valuable nucleus of chemistry in Slot’s new-look side.

Mosquera on Liverpool’s list amid Leipzig competition

Caught Offside reports that RB Leipzig currently lead the chase for Mosquera, but Liverpool are not far behind and could benefit from Mamardashvili’s influence. Having played together at Valencia, the Georgian keeper could play a pivotal role in swaying Mosquera’s decision.

Mosquera has been described by football scout Jacek Kulig as “one of the most talented U-21 defenders in Europe,” a tag that fits perfectly with Liverpool’s long-term transfer strategy.

Slot’s defence taking shape

Arne Slot is building something fresh at Anfield. With Ibrahima Konaté and Virgil van Dijk expected to feature prominently again next season, Mosquera’s potential arrival would provide depth and a long-term solution.

Slot’s preference for possession-based, intelligent defenders aligns with Mosquera’s profile. At 6ft 2in and calm under pressure, he offers physicality and composure. If the deal materialises, it could be another statement of intent from the Premier League champions.

Future built on youth and familiarity

Mamardashvili’s arrival is more than a goalkeeping upgrade, it could become an influential factor in Liverpool’s dressing room. His bond with Mosquera may prove crucial in convincing the young defender that Anfield is the right next step.

With Frimpong already through the door and talk of Wirtz not going away, Liverpool are clearly targeting a core group with established chemistry. It is an intelligent move from the recruitment team, who are blending youth, potential and prior familiarity to great effect.

Our View – EPL Index Analysis

From a Liverpool fan’s perspective, this report offers nothing but excitement. Jeremie Frimpong is a cracking piece of business, especially after Trent’s somewhat low-key departure. At £30m, we’re getting one of the Bundesliga’s best full-backs, someone who was part of an invincible Leverkusen side. That kind of winning experience is priceless.

Now, turning to Cristhian Mosquera — fans should absolutely be buzzing. He may not be a headline name yet, but anyone who has watched Valencia this past season knows how composed and consistent he has been at just 20 years of age. If Leipzig are after him, you know he’s legit. The added bonus? Mamardashvili, already in at Anfield, could be the magnet we need to get this deal over the line. Having chemistry at the back is vital, and this could give us an edge over our rivals.

It feels like we’re building something long-term here, not just reacting to departures. Slot appears to be focused on players who know each other and can slot into a system immediately — that’s modern recruitment at its finest. If we can land Mosquera next, this summer could go down as one of our best in recent memory.
