Liverpool are making significant progress in their pursuit of Jeremie Frimpong, with personal terms nearly agreed after a promising round of discussions. According to Kicker, the Merseyside club is edging closer to securing the 24-year-old Dutch full-back, with formal talks with Bayer Leverkusen expected to follow.
Frimpong Identified as Key Alexander-Arnold Successor
Following Trent Alexander-Arnold’s decision to leave Anfield at the end of the season, Liverpool have made signing a replacement their top priority. While there was initial consideration for promoting Conor Bradley from within, concerns over his readiness and durability have prompted the club to explore external options.
Jeremie Frimpong has emerged as Liverpool’s preferred choice. Known more for his attacking flair than defensive solidity, Frimpong could be a natural fit for new manager Arne Slot’s progressive system.
€40m Release Clause Not a Stumbling Block
Despite earlier reports suggesting otherwise, Liverpool are indeed keen on Frimpong. The €40 million release clause in his contract is not seen as an obstacle, with the Reds reportedly willing to pay the fee—possibly in instalments.
Frimpong is open to the move and is expected to sign a five-year deal until 2030, marking a long-term commitment to the club.
Final Thoughts
While Frimpong’s defensive credentials may face scrutiny in the Premier League, his attacking prowess makes him a potentially exciting addition. With talks progressing well, Liverpool could soon seal their first major signing of the summer.
