Liverpool are reportedly among the clubs that have enquired about the potential transfer of Bayer Leverkusen star Jeremie Frimpong, with Barcelona also interested in the talented right-back.
The 23-year-old was one of the most in-form players in Europe during the 23/24 season, producing superb numbers in terms of goals and assists from right-back, and helping Leverkusen win their first-ever Bundesliga title, which they did without losing a single game, while they also won the DFB Pokal and reached the Europa League final.
Frimpong is now attracting interest from some elite clubs in Europe, according to sources, Liverpool has asked about him, though talks have not yet progressed beyond this point, with Barcelona also seemingly in the race for the Netherlands international’s signature.
New Liverpool manager Arne Slot will surely be keen to make some changes to the squad he’s inheriting from Jurgen Klopp, and that could include moving Trent Alexander-Arnold into midfield, meaning there’d be room for a new right-back like Frimpong to come in.
Still, it remains to be seen if LFC would view that as an urgent priority given Alexander Arnold’s quality in that role and other areas of the squad that surely need to be addressed first, such as central defense.
