Liverpool is among a number of Europe’s elite clubs who are monitoring Jeremie Frimpong’s situation at Bayer Leverkusen.

With the end of the 2024/25 season now in sight, the Reds are preparing for what could be a busy transfer window and, with a growing expectation that Trent Alexander-Arnold is set to leave when his contract expires, several possible additions at right-backs are being explored.

German outlet Sports Bild reported earlier this week that Frimpong and manager Arne Slot are in regular contact, with a €40 million ($44m/£34m) release clause in his contract.

Liverpool.com has since been informed the Reds’ interest in Frimpong is ‘genuine’ but an offer emerging will almost certainly be dependent on Alexander-Arnold departing the club at the end of the season.

Regardless, a well-placed source has told Liverpool.com it’s highly unlikely that the Dutch international will remain at Leverkusen beyond this summer with several of Europe’s top sides monitoring his situation.

It’s believed that Frimpong’s future will be dependent on the market, which opportunities arise and which clubs consider right-back a priority position.

But after playing a pivotal role at Leverkusen in recent years, including 47 appearances in last season’s league and cup double, a departure this summer feels inevitable.

Frimpong joined Leverkusen from Celtic in 2021, having previously spent two seasons in Glasgow

That is not an approach favored by Slot, although the Leverkusen man is comfortable playing on the right of a back four.

Should he sign for Liverpool, his style would differ from Alexander-Arnold
