Why Jeremie Frimpong to Liverpool makes perfect sense
The Reds are believed to be on the verge of bringing in the Bayer full-back.
Jeremie Frimpong fits Liverpool's recruitment profile almost perfectly. At 24, he's entering his prime years, yet still has room to grow — and already brings valuable experience as part of a title-winning team with Champions League exposure.
Financially, his release clause makes him a smart target, similar to the deal that brought Alexis Mac Allister to Anfield for just £35 million.
Liverpool also prioritise character, and Frimpong's popularity at Bayer Leverkusen suggests he would fit in culturally and socially.
His strong bond with Dutch internationals Virgil van Dijk, Cody Gakpo and Ryan Gravenberch — even joking around with a Scouse accent — adds to his appeal.
Having spent over a decade at Manchester City, Frimpong also qualifies as a homegrown player, which is crucial as Liverpool prepare for Trent Alexander-Arnold's possible departure.
With squad rules requiring eight homegrown players and several departures expected this summer, Frimpong would fill a critical gap.
His signing would also allow Liverpool to strengthen elsewhere, even with limited non-homegrown spots, by freeing up room through potential sales like Darwin Nunez.
