𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 𝐖𝐄 𝐆𝐎! Liverpool Agree Deal to Sign Jeremie Frimpong as New Right-Back 🔴🇳🇱

Liverpool have reached a full agreement to sign Dutch right-back Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen in a blockbuster move that signals the Reds’ intent under new head coach Arne Slot.

Sources close to the deal confirm that Liverpool have officially informed Bayer Leverkusen of their decision to trigger the €35 million release clause embedded in Frimpong’s contract. The clause will be activated in the coming days, with the 23-year-old now set to complete the move to Anfield.

Frimpong will sign a five-year contract that will keep him at the club until 2030. Personal terms between the player and Liverpool have been fully agreed for weeks, and the only step left is the completion of his medical, which is now being scheduled in Merseyside.

The Dutch international has been one of the most electrifying full-backs in Europe, playing a crucial role in Xabi Alonso’s unbeaten Bundesliga-winning campaign with Bayer Leverkusen. Known for his blistering pace, attacking threat, and relentless energy down the flank, Frimpong recorded 9 goals and 7 assists in all competitions last season — remarkable numbers for a defender.

With Trent Alexander-Arnold often drifting into midfield or playing an inverted role, Frimpong is expected to offer Liverpool both tactical flexibility and depth in the right-back position. His arrival could mark a strategic shift in how the Reds operate on the right side of the pitch.

This is Arne Slot’s first major signing since taking over the reins from Jürgen Klopp, and it sends a strong message of ambition as Liverpool prepare for the 2025/26 campaign and a return to the Champions League.

Frimpong is expected to join the Dutch national team for Euro 2024 preparations before making the move official after his medical. An exciting new era begins at Anfield — and Frimpong is at the heart of it.
