Liverpool has finalized the signing of 24-year-old Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen for a release clause of £35 million.

Liverpool has secured the signing of 24-year-old Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen for a £35 million release clause. The right-back has agreed to a five-year contract with the Premier League champions, and the announcement of the deal is expected shortly.

The right-back has agreed to a five-year contract with the Premier League champions, with an official announcement expected soon.

Liverpool is set to activate Frimpong’s release clause as they approach their first signing of the summer.

The 24-year-old, who is capable of playing on the right flank, is sought after by fellow Dutchman Arne Slot for the upcoming season, and negotiations have advanced in recent days.

Frimpong’s release clause is believed to be around 35 million euros (£29.5 million), which Liverpool is anticipated to fulfill.

Securing the Netherlands international could mitigate the impact of losing Trent Alexander-Arnold, who is poised to join Real Madrid after deciding to leave Anfield when his contract concludes at the end of the season.

Having developed through Manchester City’s youth system and played for Celtic, Frimpong could take over the right-back position from the 26-year-old Alexander-Arnold.

This season, he has made 53 appearances for both club and country and played a crucial role in leading Leverkusen to their first Bundesliga title in 2024.

Additionally, Frimpong’s former club Celtic is entitled to a percentage of any transfer fee received by Leverkusen, with reports indicating that the sell-on fee negotiated when he departed the club in 2021 could be as high as 30%.
