Liverpool Secure Jeremie Frimpong in €35M Deal to Bolster Squad

Liverpool have finalized the signing of Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen, triggering the Dutch wing-back’s €35M release clause, as confirmed by The Times on May 15, 2025. The 24-year-old, known for his blistering pace and attacking prowess, joins the Premier League champions to fill the void left by Trent Alexander-Arnold, who will depart as a free agent on June 30 after announcing his move to Real Madrid.

Frimpong, who recorded 74 goals and assists in 190 appearances for Leverkusen, brings a dynamic style to Anfield. His top-tier speed (36.34 km/h, per Bundesliga stats) and aggressive pressing (top 2% in attacking third recoveries) contrast with Alexander-Arnold’s elite playmaking (8.73 passes into the penalty area p90), offering manager Arne Slot a fresh tactical option. Slot, fresh off a Premier League title in his debut season, sees Frimpong as key to enhancing Liverpool’s attack, particularly alongside Mohamed Salah.

The transfer has sparked excitement among fans, with many praising the €35M fee as a bargain. Frimpong’s versatility as a right-back or wing-back positions him to thrive, as Liverpool aim to defend their crown in the 2025-26 season.
