Liverpool Nears Jeremie Frimpong Transfer From Bayer Leverkusen

Liverpool is actively pursuing Bayer Leverkusen right-back Jeremie Frimpong as a potential successor to Trent Alexander-Arnold, who is expected to join Real Madrid soon. Frimpong, 24, is highly valued for his dynamic, high-octane playing style, and his €35 million release clause makes him an affordable target for Liverpool's financially prudent transfer strategy. Although his explosive dribbling style differs from the more conventional role preferred by Liverpool's manager Arne Slot, his attacking prowess and versatility could add depth and a different threat to the squad. Frimpong’s connection to Liverpool dates back to his childhood, as he had initially chosen the club before opting for Manchester City due to logistical reasons; he has since expressed enthusiasm about a move to Anfield. The player has also voiced frustrations about his lack of trust and playing opportunities under Pep Guardiola at Manchester City, which prompted his moves to Celtic and then Leverkusen. Liverpool's interest is underscored by the club's strategy of blending tactical intelligence with value and character, positioning Frimpong as a fitting addition during this rebuild phase under Arne Slot.
