Liverpool have secured the signing of Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen, triggering his €35–40 million release clause. The Dutch right-back will sign a contract running until 2030.
Following Trent Alexander-Arnold’s confirmed departure at the end of his contract, the Reds have moved swiftly to land their top replacement target. After a long-standing association with the club, Alexander-Arnold’s exit leaves a major gap in Liverpool’s defense.
Liverpool had anticipated this change and identified Frimpong earlier in the year as the ideal successor. According to German outlet *Kicker*, negotiations between the club and Frimpong have progressed smoothly, with an agreement now imminent.
The 24-year-old’s release clause allowed Liverpool to open talks without needing Leverkusen’s consent. He is expected to officially sign once the first summer transfer window opens on June 1. The window runs until June 10 before a brief pause and reopening on June 16.
Frimpong’s arrival signals the beginning of Liverpool’s squad refresh under the new era.
