Top Talent Touches Down in the UK Ahead of Liverpool Switch
Jeremie Frimpong is on the verge of becoming a Liverpool player, with his transfer from Bayer Leverkusen all but officially confirmed. The move has been widely expected, and Reds fans are now just waiting for the formal announcement.
Fabrizio Romano gave his trademark “here we go” signal nine days ago, indicating the deal is virtually complete. The 24-year-old right-back is believed to have passed his medical, and Sky Sports reported on Tuesday that he has arrived in Merseyside to finalize the transfer.
When Will the Deal Be Unveiled?
According to Lewis Steele of the Daily Mail, Liverpool may confirm Frimpong’s signing this Sunday, coinciding with the official opening of the summer transfer window. The reported fee is around £30 million.
There’s potentially more good news for Liverpool fans, as the club is also said to be closing in on deals for Florian Wirtz and Milos Kerkez — suggesting a busy and productive start to the transfer period.
Sporting director Richard Hughes is acting quickly to strengthen the squad just weeks after the end of the 2024/25 campaign.
Liverpool Off to a Fast Start in the Transfer Market
Unveiling a high-profile acquisition like Frimpong as the window opens would send a clear message from the reigning Premier League champions that they’re not resting on their laurels.
Locking in three major signings early would show intent and strategic planning, allowing new head coach Arne Slot to begin pre-season with a well-equipped team.
Frimpong’s signing could also help smooth the transition following Trent Alexander-Arnold’s departure. Slot would then have both Frimpong and Conor Bradley as strong options at right-back.
If completed soon, the deal would give Frimpong a full pre-season with his new club and a smoother adjustment period than last summer’s late arrivals.
