Bayer Leverkusen loses the next load -bearing pillar after coach Xabi Alonso, defender Jonathan Tah and probably offensive jewel Florian Wirtz. Jeremie Frimpong leaves the Werkelf after four and a half years and joins Liverpool FC. At the Reds, the 24-year-old right outer train player receives a contract until 2030 and succeeds Alexander-Arnold’s right-back. The 26 years of English had announced his farewell in early May and changes to Real Madrid before the club World Cup started, where he meets Leverkusen’s migrating coach Alonso.
Liverpool uses an exit clause anchored in Frimpongs by 2028, which, according to the transfer market information, is estimated at 40 million euros. Another 5 million euros are possible. In the future, the Dutch international sorts himself out among the three most expensive departures in the Leverkusen club history – only Kai Havertz (for 80 million euros to Chelsea) and Moussa Diaby (for 55 million to Aston Villa), the Werkself washed even more money into the cash register.
“Jeremie is a perfect example of the way that Bayer 04 Leverkusen has often followed: to bring a young, highly talented player out of a small league, to develop it into a top performer to achieve your own goals and thus make it interesting for absolute European top clubs. We can and will also design the Leverkusen squad of the future. Jerry was a central player of ours Double team, with his special way and thanks to his good performance, he has developed into a crowd favorite.
Frimpong switched from Celtic Glasgow to the Bundesliga in January 2021 for 11 million euros. The Amsterdam had spent his youth at Manchester City. For Bayer 04, Frimpong brought it to 190 games, 30 hits and 44 templates. He has increased its market value since his arrival of 4 million to 50 million euros. Only Wirtz was recently valued even higher in the Bayer squad with 140 million euros.
The double winner of the 2023/24 season is quite prepared for the departure of rail player Frimpong, since he has corresponding options with Arthur (22) and Nathan Tella (25) in his contingent. In its history, FC Liverpool used Bayer 04 for the fifth time: Before Frimpong, Emre Can (for EUR 12 million), Samed Yesil (EUR 1.3 million), Andriy Voronin and Erik Meijer (each free of charge).
