With Liverpool securing the Premier League title and the impending departure of Trent Alexander-Arnold, the club is actively working to reinforce the squad for the 2024-25 season. One key area of focus is the wing-back position, and a standout player from Bayer Leverkusen has emerged as a prime target.
Liverpool is not only interested in Jeremie Frimpong but is already making progress in discussions to sign the Bayer Leverkusen player. According to reports from English media outlets, the Anfield club has contacted Bayer Leverkusen to discuss Frimpong’s release clause, which is estimated to be between €35 and €40 million.
Player open to Anfield move
In addition to the club-to-club contact, Liverpool has also engaged in talks with Jeremie Frimpong. The 24-year-old defender is reportedly interested in joining the club.
Xabi Alonso who took Bayer Leverkusen to their first Bundesliga as manager has decided to coach at Real Madrid, after having coached Alexander-Arnold, and Frimpong believes now is a good time to switch.
A return to England
Frimpong would be returning to England, where he was in the youth ranks of Manchester City before signing for Celtic in 2019. From Celtic, he joined Leverkusen in 2021 for €11 million. He has grown a lot since then.
If Liverpool are successful in bringing Frimpong to Anfield, it would represent a significant coup for the club. The player has the talent and would be able to dominate that side of the field. Liverpool needs all the help they can get!
Frimpong’s presence would provide a new dimension to Liverpool’s attack, offering a dynamic and skillful threat on the wing. It would also help increase competition in the squad.
With Liverpool looking to bolster their squad for the 2024-25 season, the pursuit of Jeremie Frimpong signals the club’s intent to remain at the top.
