Liverpool near deal with Jeremie Frimpong - Romano
Liverpool are closing in on a deal to sign Bayer Leverkusen's Jeremie Frimpong, with talks between the club and the player's camp advancing significantly.
According to reports, discussions over personal terms, including salary and contract length, are progressing well, and the deal is nearing completion.
Frimpong, who has been a key player for Leverkusen under Xabi Alonso, is said to have been keen on joining Liverpool.
The club's interest in Frimpong appears to have arisen opportunistically, despite not initially seeking a replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold, who is set to join Real Madrid.
A potential stumbling block for Leverkusen could be the departure of Xabi Alonso, who has utilized Frimpong in an attacking wing-back role.
With Alonso's exit, Frimpong's role may be redefined, potentially prompting Leverkusen to cash in on the player.
Frimpong is believed to have a release clause of around €40m (£34m), which could facilitate his move to Liverpool.
The deal would represent a significant coup for the Reds, who would be acquiring a talented and versatile player.
