Liverpool land Jeremie Frimpong: €35 m clause triggered, five‑year deal agreed
Liverpool have activated the €35 million release clause for Bayer Leverkusen right‑back Jeremie Frimpong, paving the way for the 23‑year‑old Dutchman to sign at Anfield until 2030. Personal terms were settled weeks ago; only a routine medical on Merseyside remains.
Frimpong—key to Xabi Alonso’s unbeaten, title‑winning Leverkusen side with nine goals and seven assists—will add searing pace and attacking thrust down the flank, giving new boss Arne Slot options alongside Trent Alexander‑Arnold’s inverted‑midfield role. The move is Slot’s first marquee signing and a clear statement of intent as Liverpool gear up for 2025/26 and their Champions League return. The defender will complete Euro 2024 duties with the Netherlands before his official unveiling.
