Jeremie Frimpong is ready to join Liverpool from Bayer Leverkusen in a £ 29.5 million transfer agreement, chosen with Dutch International to replace Trent Alexander-Arnold right-back
Jeremie Frimpong has loved himself with Liverpool supporters with a message to the future teammate of Anfield Ryan Gravenberch. Frimpong, 24, is set to join the Reds of Bayer Leverkusen when the summer transfer window will open on 1 June.
Liverpool has informed the Bundesliga club that they are ready to pay the £ 29.5 million release clause of the Dutch right back after reaching agreement on the conditions of a five-year contract. Frimpong has been an important part of the Leverkusen side of Xabi Alonso, which helped them to go to a competition and cup in Germany last season.
Dutch International will know a few familiar faces when he arrives at MerseSide, namely Dutch countrymen Virgil van Dijk, Cody Gakpo and Gravenberch. It is the last to send the Frimpong a message on social media after the Liverpool midfielder was elected the young player of the Premier League season.
The 24-year-old showed his support to Gravenberch and joined the comments of Van Dijk and Gakpo by answering: “Ryan Laaa”, in addition to an emojis of a red heart and a trophy.
Earlier this week, Leverkusen-Sports director Simon Rolfes strongly suggested that Frimpong, which they signed from Celtic in 2021, was Liverpool-bound. “It is no secret that he has a prospect clause and there is interest, perhaps from England, perhaps even from Liverpool,” Rolfes hinted to Bild.
“We will see what is happening. It is quite possible that Jerry will leave in the summer. Even then it is not final.” But I am already aware of things, we are all informed, so it can happen – let's wait. “
Liverpool manager Arne Slot has been more tight. Asked if he could confirm if Frimpong had undergone a medical to Brighton after the 3-2 loss of Monday, Slot replied: “What do you think?
“I think what we all know, the moment we announce it, that is the time to talk about it in general. We have not announced anything, so nothing about talking about someone.”
Will Jeremie Frimpong be a success at Liverpool? Say in the commentary part.
Alonso has already told Liverpool what they will get with Frimpong and praised the defender last season. “Since I arrived here for the first time, since the first day, Jeremie has been an important player for us and for myself,” the former Liverpool star Alonso greeted.
“His personality – He brings a lot of joy into the dressing room. So you have to keep him this joy. But also become more mature.”
