Liverpool Transfer News as Jeremie Frimpong Release Clause Revealed Amid Bid for $102M Star

Liverpool transfer developments have taken a fresh turn with the revelation of Jeremie Frimpong’s release clause, while the Reds are reportedly among several clubs preparing to bid for a star valued at \$102 million.

Even before Trent Alexander-Arnold’s announcement on Monday, Liverpool already faced a busy summer in the transfer market. His decision only adds to the urgency for reinforcements.

Although the right-back’s departure from Anfield has seemed inevitable for some time, it remains a significant setback for the Reds. As he pursues a potential move to Real Madrid, Arne Slot must now begin shaping next season’s plans without one of his key players.

The Liverpool manager has attempted to lower expectations surrounding the club’s transfer activity this summer. Nevertheless, major additions are clearly required—and even the squad appears aware of that need. If recent rumours prove accurate, two high-profile targets may already be under consideration.

This is the Newsnow take on the latest transfer speculation involving the Reds.

Jeremie Frimpong (Bayer Leverkusen)

Jeremie Frimpong is reportedly interested in joining Liverpool, with the Reds potentially set to capitalise on the Bayer Leverkusen star’s \$40 million release clause.

This claim comes from The Athletic’s transfer specialist David Ornstein, who indicated during an appearance on NBC Sports that Frimpong might be considered as a possible replacement for Alexander-Arnold this summer.

Liverpool.com has previously highlighted the Reds’ interest in the Dutch international earlier this year, and with Alexander-Arnold now leaving, the opportunity for a move to Anfield may have opened up.

All signs appear to indicate that Frimpong is a strong candidate for Liverpool this summer. His release clause makes a potential deal highly achievable, so the real question may be how determined the Reds are to secure his services.

Regardless of whether Frimpong is the chosen target, Liverpool must identify a new right-back. While there is hope that Conor Bradley can step up as the first-choice option, depending on him alone would be a major gamble considering his recent struggles with injuries.

Benjamin Sesko (RB Leipzig)

Liverpool are reportedly one of several Premier League clubs preparing to make a bid for RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko, according to CaughtOffside.

Alongside the Reds, Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea are also believed to be lining up offers for the Slovenian forward, who has netted 21 goals in 43 appearances.

Leipzig are thought to be demanding up to \$102 million for the talented striker, though interested clubs are reportedly aiming to agree on a fee closer to \$80 million.

Thought

It seems likely that Sesko will be on the move this summer—the only uncertainty is his destination. Liverpool are in need of a new No.9, and although Alexander Isak would be the perfect fit, a player like Sesko appears to be a more attainable option.
