Liverpool are wasting no time in the transfer market this summer, with their first signing already lined up before the season officially ends.
Following their Premier League title triumph, the Reds are pushing to reinforce their squad, and Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong is at the heart of their early activity.
The 24-year-old Dutch full-back is expected to undergo a medical on Monday after Liverpool triggered his £30 million release clause over the weekend—the final day of the Bundesliga campaign.
Frimpong’s arrival is being fast-tracked to prevent any rival clubs from making a late move.
Quick and Calculated Move
Sporting director Richard Hughes has clearly learned from last summer’s late-window scramble.
Rather than wait until August as they did previously, Liverpool are now aiming to have their new recruits in place well before pre-season.
Journalist Lewis Steele broke the news on Sunday morning that Frimpong is en route to England, with a medical scheduled for Monday.
Fellow reporter Ben Jacobs echoed the report, confirming that the deal is progressing smoothly.
Frimpong is expected to sign a five-year contract with the Merseyside club, marking the beginning of a new era under incoming head coach Arne Slot.
No Last-Minute Surprises Expected
Although Frimpong was absent from Leverkusen’s final match—a 2-2 draw with Mainz—this is understood to be a precautionary move ahead of his transfer.
With a solid injury record and recent match fitness, no medical issues are anticipated.
Should everything proceed without a hitch, Frimpong’s official unveiling as a Liverpool player is likely to come between Tuesday and Wednesday, though he may not be formally registered until June 1.
