After coach Xabi Alonso, defense chief Jonathan Tah and possibly top player Florian Wirtz, Bayer Leverkusen could lose another pillar in the summer. After transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano had already reported to Jeremie Frimpong for the last few days about the Liverpool FC’s interest, “Sky” has now followed up. Accordingly, advanced talks have already taken place with the representatives of the 24-year-old.

The Reds with Frimpong’s compatriot Arne Slot as a trainer are looking for a replacement for their own family Trent Alexander-Arnold and have identified the Dutch as one of the top options, even if he acts more aggressively than the Englishman, whom it should move to Real Madrid. It is said that despite the contract, Frimpong is planning a farewell to the Werkelf in the upcoming transfer window. This is supposed to make an exit clause that lies between 35 million and 40 million euros. With a sum in this area, the right rail player would rank third of the most expensive sales in Leverkusen’s club history. Should Wirtz also go, he would also take the lead again.
Frimpong had come from Celtic Glasgow in the winter of 2021 for 11 million euros, since then he has reached 30 goals and 44 templates in 190 games. Under Alonso he is an absolute regular, played the second men with 48 games this season in the squad. He only missed one game in the DFB Cup in the 2nd round. During his time at Bayer 04, he screwed his market value to a current personal best of 50 million euros – none is more valuable worldwide on his main position in the right midfield. In the comparison of all right-backs, Frimpong’s secondary position, only three players outperform their value, including Alexander-Arnold.
