Liverpool is confident that Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremy Fripon deal is already underway in the coming days, according to GivemeSport.
As the club is looking to strengthen key territory ahead of the new season, Frimpong’s potential signature is a key step in Liverpool’s summer transfer strategy.
A fresh Reds boss who secures a Premier League title, Arne Slot is keen to strengthen his team with the finest talent.
Liverpool will be busy this summer
In addition to Frimon, the Dutch manager has already secured the services of Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili at a rate of up to £29 million, with a deal set to take place in August last year.
The decision to pursue Frimon is heavily influenced by Trent Alexander Arnold’s announcement that he will leave Liverpool as a free agent after choosing not to sign a new contract.
With the English right-back leaving the club this summer, the Reds will need top-class right-backs to replace him and the quality of his offense.
The reason they are chasing Frimon is because he is on the defensive side of the game and he is an equally good player at attacking positions.
With five goals and 12 assists from Bayer Leverkusen this season, Frimon shows his offensive and creative quality.
Jeremie Frimpong’s signature will be a few days away
The Reds are confident they will soon trigger the defender’s release clause, and they have already begun preparing for his medical care before they move.
It seems like it’s only a matter of time before the Reds can close their deal with the Bundesliga star.
As for other defensive additions, Bournemouth’s Milos Kerquez is Liverpool’s main target, offering the competition for Andy Robertson in the left-back position.
As far as the attack additions go, Atalanta’s Adamoral Lookman has been on the club’s radar this summer.
