Leverkusen loses next key player - Frimpong transfer to Liverpool confirmed

The transfer of Bayer Leverkusen's Jeremie Frimpong to Liverpool FC is complete. Both clubs confirmed the deal, hours after transfer expert Fabrizio Romano had reported it as completed.

The Dutch international has signed a "long-term contract" with the English champions, according to the club's statement. According to Romano, Frimpong will cost Liverpool €35 million. He could once again team up with Florian Wirtz at the Reds. The German international is also set to move from Leverkusen to Liverpool for well over €100 million.

"It was a very simple process. Liverpool got in touch and showed interest, and for me, the decision was, of course, a no-brainer," the 24-year-old Frimpong was quoted as saying in the statement. Bayer Leverkusen thanked the winger in a post on the platform X for a "special time" and wished him "all the best" for the future.

Frimpong moved from Celtic to Leverkusen in January 2021. He was one of the top performers for the Rhinelanders, who won the double in 2024. The speedy right-footer made 133 Bundesliga appearances and scored 23 goals.
