Liverpool and Barcelona are reportedly among the clubs interested in acquiring Bayer Leverkusen’s standout right-back, Jeremie Frimpong.
Following a stellar season where Frimpong delivered exceptional goals and assists from his defensive position, his performances have not gone unnoticed. Bayer Leverkusen achieved an unbeaten Bundesliga season, securing their first-ever title, while also winning the DFB Pokal and reaching the Europa League final.
According to Sport Bild, Liverpool have expressed interest in Frimpong, though discussions have yet to advance. Barcelona is also eyeing the Dutch international, intensifying the competition for his signature this summer.
Despite Leverkusen’s promising project under Xabi Alonso, retaining their key players might prove challenging. For instance, Jonathan Tah is reportedly eager to join Bayern Munich, as highlighted by Christian Falk in the Daily Briefing.
The potential transfer of Frimpong raises questions about his future destination—Liverpool or Barcelona? Both clubs could benefit significantly from his abilities. New Liverpool manager Arne Slot may consider shifting Trent Alexander-Arnold into midfield, creating a vacancy at right-back that Frimpong could fill. However, Liverpool might prioritize reinforcing other areas, such as central defense, given Alexander-Arnold’s proficiency at right-back.
Meanwhile, Barcelona could view Frimpong as a crucial addition. The Catalan giants have struggled to replace the attacking dynamism of Dani Alves on the right flank, and Frimpong could fill that void effectively.
As the summer transfer window progresses, it remains to be seen where Frimpong will ultimately end up, with both Liverpool and Barcelona keenly monitoring the situation.
