Jeremie Frimpong is a player of Bayer Leverkusen
Liverpool are on the verge of announcing their first signing of the summer transfer window, with Dutch international Jeremie Frimpong expected to be unveiled as a Red in the next 24 hours.
The Bayer Leverkusen right-back has completed his medical after Liverpool triggered his €35 million (£29.5 million) release clause.
Frimpong arrived in England on Sunday, May 18, 2025, and wrapped up medical tests on Monday, May 19, 2025, clearing the final hurdle before putting pen to paper on a long-term deal.
He is set to wear the No. 30 shirt at Anfield. Frimpong, 24, capable of playing both as a right-back and an attacking wing-back, scored 14 goals and provided 12 assists across all competitions last season, catching the eye of Liverpool’s new head coach, Arne Slot.
He was key to Leverkusen’s historic domestic double under Xabi Alonso in the 2023/24 season.
Slot, who has remained tight-lipped about the deal, avoided confirming the move during his latest media appearance.
Asked about Frimpong’s medical, Slot said,
“I think what we all know is the moment we announce it, that is the moment to talk about it in general. We haven’t announced anything so no need to talk about anyone.”
Despite the manager’s cautious tone, multiple reports from Fabrizio Romano confirm the deal is all but done, with the official announcement expected soon.
Frimpong’s arrival signals Liverpool’s plan to reshape their right-back options, especially with the impending departure of Trent Alexander-Arnold.
The England international has announced he will leave the club when his contract expires on June 30.
In the meantime, 21-year-old Conor Bradley has stepped up as the current first-choice in that position.
Liverpool are also exploring other reinforcements, including a potential move for Bournemouth’s left-back Milos Kerkez.
Talks are said to be ongoing, with the Hungarian showing interest in joining the Reds.
