Manchester clubs ready to challenge Liverpool for Jeremie Frimpong

Man United and Man City have an eye on Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong as the Manchester clubs get ready to challenge Liverpool for the full-back ahead of the 2025 transfer windows. 

The Merseyside club could be in the market for a new right-back next year as the future of Trent Alexander-Arnold at Anfield has yet to be resolved.

The 25-year-old is out of contract with the Premier League outfit at the end of the season and should the England international leave Liverpool, the Reds have a strong interest in Frimpong to replace the talented full-back, reports Football Insider.

The Dutch star has been on Liverpool’s radar for a while now and the 23-year-old is coming off the back of a stellar 2023/24 campaign for Leverkusen as the German side won a league and cup double under Xabi Alonso.

Frimpong was a key part of this as he featured in 47 games, scoring 14 goals alongside 12 assists.

The problem for Liverpool is that the Netherlands international’s displays did not only impress the Merseyside outfit but both Manchester clubs as well.
