Liverpool are reportedly having advanced talks with Bayer Leverkusen over the transfer of their full-back Jeremie Frimpong in the summer transfer window according to Fabrizio Romano.
Presently, The Reds are discussing the player’s €35 million (£29m/$39m) release clause structure with the former German champions and have also initiated talks with the player’s camp.
Frimpong is said to be keen on joining the Merseyside club. Ever since Trent Alexander-Arnold formally announced he will depart Anfield at the end of the 2024-25 season, the Reds have been in search of a quality defender to replace the English right-back.
L’Equipe earlier reported that, other than Frimpong, they also have their eyes on AS Monaco’s Vanderson. Alexander-Arnold did not make Arne Slot’s starting lineup against Arsenal last week as the Dutch coach fielded Conor Bradley in the right-back role.
The Dutchman had even compared Bradley to one of the best right-backs in the world, Paris Saint-Germain’s Achraf Hakimi. Liverpool will be back in action on May 19 as they take on Brighton away from home in their penultimate match of the 2024-25 campaign.
