Morten Frendrup, a 22-year-old midfielder who joined Genoa from Bröndby IF in 2022, has continued to develop on Italian soil and is now an integral part of the team. He has played in every game this season, except for a couple of suspensions due to cumulative warnings, and continues to be a consistent performer.
Liverpool, who scouted a number of midfielders last summer, have also shown interest in the player, and he is reportedly a favorite of manager Jurgen Klopp.
The Danish midfielder may also prioritize playing in the Serie A, although it is unlikely that transfer talk will resurface at the club, which is being revamped with the departure of its manager.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the former Danish U-21 midfielder is eager to extend his contract with his club and is looking to make a move to Genoa beyond his current deal, which runs through June 2026.
It is not only the player but also the club that wants to sign a new contract with the young midfielder, whose reputation has been on the rise due to his recent play. By offering him a higher salary and a four-year contract, the club hopes to avoid losing its mainstay.
Once a new contract is signed, it will be even more difficult for Liverpool to get hold of him. With a new coach coming to Anfield next season, there are many unknowns in the team’s development.
So, contrary to the expectations of those around him, could the Danish midfielder be up for a new challenge in England?
