Liverpool is in advanced negotiations to acquire right-back Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen, as they prepare for Trent Alexander-Arnold's departure to Real Madrid. Reports indicate that Frimpong, with a release clause of â¬35-40 million, is keen on the move. Liverpool manager Arne Slot, favoring a back four, sees potential in Frimpong similarly to how Alexander-Arnold was utilized. With Leverkusen eager to sell post-manager Xabi Alonso's exit, talks are nearing completion, and a five-year contract is imminent, signaling a major shift in Liverpool's defensive strategy for the upcoming season.
Liverpool are advancing in negotiations with Bayer Leverkusen right-back Jeremie Frimpong, with several reports suggesting a deal is close to completion.
Florian Plettenberg was the first to state Liverpool are "seriously pursuing" Frimpong, whose release clause of between 35m-40m makes a deal comparatively simple to complete.
Advanced talks have been held with the 24-year-old Dutchman, who came through the Manchester City youth academy but departed for Celtic in 2019.
Frimpong is said to be "on the verge" of heading to Anfield as a five-year contract is just a few minor details away from being agreed.
