Liverpool intensify talks with Bayer 04 Leverkusen.

Liverpool FC Bayer 04 Leverkusen

Liverpool prepared to attack the market as Trent Alexander-Arnolds exit opens opportunity for new addition.

James William previously reported In May, how Jeremie Frimpong’s eagerness to join the club matches his ambition to win trophies. With club officials having held talks with the Dutchman’s camp previously this month, it became apparent that the player's future aligns with Liverpool’s goals of becoming unanimous in the history books. Frimpong (although young) has racked up quite the CV, with the 24yo having bundles of experience both domestically and in European competition. Having played a crucial part in Bayer 04’s run to the Europa League final last season, scoring 3 times, Jeremie’s performances led to Bayern 04 winning the double last season, ending a historic trophy drought for the club. 5 G/A in 6 DFB Pokal games coinciding with their famous Bundesliga title win, where the defender had a compelling 16 G/A in 31 games.

Liverpool are a data-driven club and have been for some time now; a player like Jeremie Frimpong being eager to join your club for a relatively low price compared to other deals in the current world of football transfers should be a no-brainer. It’s difficult to see a world where Anfield recruitment staff pass up on an opportunity as good as this. 24 years old, having come through Manchester City’s academy, playing 51 times for a prestigious club like Celtic, where the bare minimum of expectations is to win everything, to earning himself a move abroad to one of the top 5 leagues in the world, where he has featured 190 times, racking up 70 goals & assists whilst he earned 12 international caps, contributing to 3 goals for his country. A player with this wealth of experience should come with a whopping price tag. With a £30m release clause in his current deal, it wouldn’t come as a surprise if Liverpool triggered it in the coming weeks with Arne Slot planning to do this summer’s business before the club begins their Asia tour.

As stated before, personal terms would be no issue. With the player currently on £64k p/w, his wages would be relatively cheap also; attaining such a versatile player with this much experience could be seen as the most ‘Liverpool’ deal ever, with praises to the recruitment staff for making such a busy summer for the club seem effortless in regards to transfer activity. Frimpong’s release clause being financed in 4 instalments of £7.5m per season would also help ease the remainder of Liverpool’s transfer business this summer, with the Champions expected to go big on Alexander Isak, who, just like Jeremie Frimpong, is eager to join the 20-time Premier League champions.
