Transfer Breakdown
Liverpool and Manchester City are both monitoring Jeremie Frimpong, who has a ‘gentlemen’s agreement’ with Bayer Leverkusen to listen to offers worth €40m (£33.1m).
The 24-year-old Netherlands international has been one of Leverkusen’s most consistent performers, excelling as a right-sided player who can operate as a full-back or wing-back. He was part of Manchester City’s academy before moving to Celtic in 2019, making a potential return to the Etihad an intriguing prospect.
Why This Move?
For Liverpool, Frimpong would bring pace and attacking threat down the right flank, providing competition for Trent Alexander-Arnold or slotting in as a wing-back if the system requires.
For Manchester City, he would be a versatile addition, offering depth behind Kyle Walker, who is now 33 years old, and fitting into Pep Guardiola’s tactical flexibility.
For Bayer Leverkusen, while losing Frimpong would be a blow, his €40m release clause-like agreement ensures they would receive a significant transfer fee.
Expert Opinion
Bundesliga expert Raphael Honigstein commented on Frimpong’s future:
🗣️ “Frimpong has been outstanding for Leverkusen. It’s no surprise that Premier League giants are interested.”
Former Manchester City defender Micah Richards also weighed in:
🗣️ “City let Frimpong go young, but he’s developed into a serious player. Bringing him back would be a smart move.”
