The last player to join Anfield from Serie A last season was Arthur Melo, a midfielder for Juventus. However, the Brazilian struggled with injuries during his loan period and only made one appearance for the senior team under Jorgen Klopp. As a result, the Reds were unable to sign him permanently in June 2023. Frendrup, Koopmeiners, and Osimhen are among the other Serie A players who have been linked by the Italian media to a summer transfer to Anfield.
The 22-year-old Danish centre midfielder Frendrup has made 22 appearances for Genoa this season, tallying five assists. His Marassi contract expires in June 2026, and according to Tuttosport, Juventus is reportedly interested in signing him. Koopmeiners from Atalanta is another central midfield player that the Bianconeri and Liverpool can contend for. The Dutch midfielder is Massimiliano Allegri's top goal for the upcoming campaign, despite interest from the Reds and Newcastle, according to a Friday report from La Gazzetta dello Sport.
