Liverpool is reportedly close to finalizing a deal to sign Dutch right-back Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen, with the player's €40 million (£34.7 million) release clause being a key factor in the negotiations. The 24-year-old has been instrumental in Leverkusen's recent successes, contributing significantly to their unbeaten Bundesliga title-winning season.
According to reports from The Scottish Sun, Frimpong's agent recently posted a cryptic message on social media, fueling speculation about the impending transfer. Liverpool's interest in Frimpong comes amid uncertainties surrounding Trent Alexander-Arnold's future at the club. Frimpong's dynamic playing style and attacking prowess make him a suitable candidate to fill the potential void.
Celtic, Frimpong's former club, stands to benefit financially from this transfer due to a 30% sell-on clause included in his move to Leverkusen in 2021. If the transfer proceeds at the reported fee, Celtic could receive approximately £7 million, providing a significant boost to their finances.
