Liverpool Close in on Jeremie Frimpong Signing in Major £30M Transfer Breakthrough
Liverpool are on the verge of completing a significant summer signing, with Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong set to join the Reds following a rapid breakthrough in negotiations. According to renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool have already agreed personal terms with the Dutch international and are now preparing to trigger his £30 million release clause.
“Here we go” soon? It certainly feels that way.
At just 23 years old, Frimpong has emerged as one of Europe’s most exciting full-backs, playing a pivotal role in Xabi Alonso’s unbeaten Bundesliga title-winning campaign at Leverkusen. Renowned for his explosive pace, aggressive attacking runs, and improved defensive awareness, Frimpong would offer Liverpool a dynamic option on the right flank — and potentially reshape the tactical setup heading into the new era under Jurgen Klopp’s successor.
What Does This Mean for Trent Alexander-Arnold?
Frimpong’s arrival would naturally raise questions about Trent Alexander-Arnold’s future role. With speculation about a permanent midfield switch and just one year left on his contract, Liverpool’s move for Frimpong suggests they are planning for multiple contingencies. It also intensifies the internal competition, especially with Conor Bradley emerging as a strong homegrown option at right-back.
A Signing with Serious Intent
The buzz surrounding Frimpong’s transfer grew louder earlier today when his agent posted a cryptic message on social media, captioned simply: “We working.” Within hours, Romano confirmed that talks had accelerated, and the Reds are now believed to be on the brink of finalising the deal.
Should Liverpool secure Frimpong’s signature, it would mark a statement of intent from the new managerial regime. Not only would they be acquiring a title-winning defender with Champions League experience and room to grow, but they’d also be acting decisively in a competitive market.
Tactical Implications
Frimpong’s profile suggests a potential shift in how Liverpool intend to play. Whether used in a back three system with wing-backs, as Leverkusen did, or as a more traditional right-back with license to attack, his versatility provides the club with new tactical flexibility — especially as they look to rebuild under a new identity post-Klopp.
With the deal nearly sealed, Liverpool fans may not have to wait long for official confirmation. If finalized, Frimpong could become one of the cornerstones of a bold new chapter at Anfield.
