Liverpool is in advanced talks to sign Jeremie Frimpong, the Bayer Leverkusen right-back, to replace Trent Alexander-Arnold.
The 24-year-old Dutch international is a top target for the Reds, who see him as a key addition to their defense.
Frimpong has impressed in his two seasons with Leverkusen under Xabi Alonso, showcasing his speed, technique, and attacking prowess.
Frimpong’s Rise to Prominence
Frimpong began his career at Manchester City but never played for the first team.
He moved to Celtic in 2019, where he spent a season and a half before joining Leverkusen.
Since then, he’s made 190 appearances, scoring 30 goals and providing 39 assists.
The Dutch right-back was instrumental in Leverkusen’s historic 2023/24 season, helping the team win the Bundesliga and the German Cup.
His release clause is between €35m and €40m, making him an attractive option for Liverpool this summer.
Both the club and Frimpong are keen on the move, as he looks to take the next step in his career by joining one of Europe’s top leagues.
Frimpong’s profile fits Liverpool’s needs, and his youth and potential make him an exciting prospect.
The Reds are expected to push hard to secure his signature in the coming weeks.
According to the German Sky Sports, negotiations are already at an advanced stage.
