Resurfaced 2018 interview reveals Liverpool’s midfield transfer advantage over Tottenham
Liverpool are said to be in pole position to secure one of their top transfer targets, with the player himself expressing his desire to play for the club. Jurgen Klopp has not made any signings during the current January window, but it is expected that the club will be active in the market due to their ongoing injury problems. The player in question, Morten Frendup, has openly stated his admiration for Liverpool and his dream of playing for them. This sentiment was expressed when he was just 16 years old, and he remains committed to making his dream a reality through hard work.
Frendup’s preferred position as a deep-lying midfielder aligns with Klopp’s needs, as the team has suffered departures and struggles in that area. Jordan Henderson and Naby Keita left the club in the summer, and new signing Alex Mac Allister has had difficulties adapting to the role. While a move in January is unlikely, a transfer in the coming summer seems more plausible. Frendup has been an integral part of Genoa’s team this season, featuring in all 20 of their Serie A matches. With over two years left on his contract, it is expected that Genoa would demand a transfer fee. However, there is also the risk of losing him on a free transfer in 2026 if they hold onto him for too long.
It is worth noting that Liverpool’s London rivals have also been linked with a potential move for Frendup in the past, and the Australian manager, Ange Postecoglou, remains interested. Should Gallagher choose to stay at the club, it is likely that Postecoglou will intensify his pursuit of Frendup, as his own squad is currently dealing with injuries to key players.
