Romano reveals Liverpool ‘medical’ as Reds secure two deals ahead of summer transfer window…

Fabrizio Romano has disclosed that Liverpool is set to finalize two transfers as they prepare for the summer transfer window, with Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong expected to undergo his medical examination at the club within the next 48 hours.

The Reds clinched the Premier League title in late April under the management of Arne Slot, marking their 20th top-flight championship in his inaugural season.

With Liverpool now out of all other competitions, they can focus on enhancing Slot’s second season as Jurgen Klopp’s successor.

Last month, the club secured new contracts for Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah, but Trent Alexander-Arnold has announced his departure on a free transfer this summer, with Real Madrid being the likely destination.

In response, Liverpool is taking steps to strengthen their right-back position for the upcoming season.

Negotiations with Frimpong and Bayer Leverkusen have been ongoing for several weeks, and it appears the Netherlands international is close to completing the transfer.

On his YouTube channel, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano stated, ‘Jeremie Frimpong will be Liverpool’s new right-back.

He has been approved by Arne Slot and is highly sought after by Richard Hughes.

The consensus within Liverpool is that the €35 million release clause, along with solidarity payments bringing the total close to €40 million, represents an excellent deal for the club.

They see great potential in Frimpong, who is not only a fantastic attacking player but also has room for improvement in his defensive skills.

Liverpool believes he has immense potential and is eager to seize this opportunity in the Premier League.

He expressed a desire to join the Premier League a year ago, but the right opportunity did not materialize.

He remained dedicated and professional at Bayer Leverkusen until the end, and now the path is clear for Frimpong to join Liverpool.

The medical examinations have been scheduled, a five-year agreement is in place, and all terms have been finalized with the player, with Leverkusen being fully informed.

Liverpool has acted with utmost professionalism, reaching out to Leverkusen on Monday.

Contrary to claims of a lack of direct communication, they have been in touch since Monday to notify Leverkusen about finalizing the deal for Frimpong.

Everything is now in order, and the official announcement of Frimpong’s transfer to Liverpool as their first summer signing is expected soon.

Sky Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg indicated on Sunday morning that Frimpong is anticipated to undergo his medical at Anfield within the next 48 hours.

Plettenberg shared on X: ‘It is understood that Jeremie #Frimpong is poised to finalize his medical for Liverpool in the next 48 hours! All arrangements have been completed and confirmed between Frimpong, Liverpool, and Bayer 04 Leverkusen.

#LFC.’ This development follows Conor Bradley’s recent signing of a new long-term contract, ensuring his stay at Liverpool until at least the summer of 2029.

After securing the new contract, Bradley expressed to Liverpoolfc.com: ‘I am very proud and excited to sign another contract and look forward to the next steps in our journey together.

It’s important to stay focused and work diligently. The past two years with the senior team have been incredible, especially after returning from loan and performing well last year and continuing that success this year.

It’s been a great experience, and I hope we can keep progressing and create more memorable moments.’

When asked about his future aspirations, Bradley stated: ‘I aim to play more matches and win additional trophies.

The essence of playing football is to achieve success and win titles. The more we can secure, the better it will be for both me and the team. If we maintain this trajectory, the upcoming years at the club will be promising.’
