Done Deal, Case Closed: Jeremie Frimpong Set to Join Liverpool Until 2030

Liverpool FC is on the verge of finalizing the signing of Dutch international Jeremie Agyekum Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen, with the deal expected to be completed within the next 48 hours. The Reds have agreed to activate Frimpong’s €35 million (£30 million) release clause, securing the 24-year-old right-back on a contract that will keep him at Anfield until June 2030 .

Frimpong’s arrival comes as Liverpool prepares for the departure of Trent Alexander-Arnold, who is set to join Real Madrid. The Dutchman is seen as a dynamic replacement, known for his explosive pace, attacking prowess, and versatility on the right flank. His ability to play as a right-back, wing-back, or right winger adds tactical flexibility to manager Arne Slot’s squad .

Having developed through Manchester City’s youth system before making his professional debut with Celtic, Frimpong moved to Bayer Leverkusen in January 2021. During his time in Germany, he became a key figure in Leverkusen’s historic Bundesliga title win in the 2023–24 season, contributing significantly with his offensive capabilities.

Frimpong’s homegrown status, due to his formative years in England, is an added advantage for Liverpool under UEFA regulations. His familiarity with several Dutch teammates at Liverpool, including Virgil van Dijk, Cody Gakpo, and Ryan Gravenberch, as well as manager Arne Slot, is expected to ease his transition .

The completion of this transfer marks Liverpool’s first major move in the summer window, signaling the club’s intent to reinforce the squad following their recent Premier League title triumph. With Frimpong’s signing, Liverpool aims to maintain their competitive edge domestically and in European competitions.
