Barcelona’s coach is looking to bolster his squad in the upcoming seasons and has pinpointed a potential target who might also attract interest from Real Madrid in future transfer windows. However, Barcelona is facing a severe financial crisis that hinders its ability to secure major signings, a situation clearly evident in the previous summer transfer market. In contrast, Real Madrid is currently enjoying a highly successful period across all areas.
According to Spanish newspaper Defensa Central, Hansi Flick is interested in acquiring Jeremy Frimpong, the right-back from Bayer Leverkusen. Although Frimpong is highly regarded in Madrid, there are concerns about his defensive capabilities, as he primarily plays as a wing-back and frequently participates in offensive plays, making him less experienced in traditional defensive roles within a four-man defense system. The newspaper also noted that Frimpong has expressed to Barcelona that his primary ambition is to join Real Madrid, where he hopes to play alongside Vinicius and Mbappe in one of the most prominent football projects currently underway.
This development is a significant setback for Barcelona, but they understand that Real Madrid’s project is highly appealing to players. Nonetheless, Barcelona will continue to pursue Frimpong and attempt to persuade him to join their ranks. They are also aware that Real Madrid is keeping an eye on Alexander-Arnold’s situation.
Having both Vinicius and Mbappé in the same team offers exceptional attacking potential. Although their chemistry still requires further refinement through practice and additional games, any player would be eager to play alongside them.
It’s understandable that Frimpong would be inclined to join Real Madrid, given his long-standing admiration for the club.
