Liverpool is set to finalize the signing of Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen, with the player scheduled to undergo a medical this week.
The transfer, valued at £30 million, is expected to be completed shortly after the medical examination.
Frimpong is seen as the ideal replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold, whose contract with Liverpool expires on June 30. The Dutch international’s versatility and skills have made him a key target for the Reds, who believe he would be a perfect fit for their defensive lineup.
The deal has been facilitated by a £30 million release clause in Frimpong’s contract, allowing for a swift transfer process. Personal terms between the player and Liverpool have already been agreed upon, paving the way for a smooth transition.
Leverkusen has been keen to resolve the transfer amid internal changes, including the potential departure of head coach Xabi Alonso to Real Madrid. Frimpong has expressed enthusiasm about joining Liverpool and playing in the Premier League.
