In anticipation of the summer release of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Liverpool turned on Frimpong and was recently “on the verge of finalizing an agreement for the defender of the attack.
SPORT Affirms that Frimpong has already concluded an agreement on personal conditions with Liverpool, which is probably the most complicated part of the negotiations, because the rear right contract with Leverkusen includes a liberation clause. The exact value of the clause is disputed but is accepted to be between 35 million euros and 40 million euros (29.5 million pounds sterling at 33.7 million pounds sterling).
Once an agreement with Frimpong is finished, Liverpool would contact Leverkusen to trigger the clause. According to Carro, there has not yet been to suggest that this will happen.
“Jeremie Frimpong has a long contract with us who also has an exit clause, but we currently know no transfer,” he said sport.de.
All this could change soon, as Time State Liverpool is preparing to reach out and trigger the Frimpong clause which, according to this report, is at 30 million pounds sterling.
Frimpong wishes to move to Anfield and he could end up being followed by midfielder Florian Wirtz after he emerged, the Reds had contacted the German international on a successful transfer which could be worth 150 million euros (126.3 million pounds Sterling).
Wirtz, also a target for Manchester City, leaning over to join Bayern Munich and some reports even went so far as to suggest that an agreement between the two parties is concluded, although Carro warned fans not to believe all speculation.
“Rumors surprised me a little when I started in the football sector seven years ago,” he said. “While I gradually get involved, there are always different interested parties, there are different parts, there are different relationships.
“It is actually quite difficult to understand where rumors come from, but I must say that there are many who really surprise me.”
