Furious Florian Wirtz Response Given as Bayern Munich Chief Hits Out Amid Jeremie Frimpong to Liverpool Transfer Claim
Bayern Munich executive Uli Hoeness has criticised recent reports linking Florian Wirtz with a transfer amid growing interest in the Bayer Leverkusen winger, including from Liverpool.
Liverpool are set to return to action on Monday as they resume their Premier League campaign against Brighton & Hove Albion. While the team has celebrated their title win and enjoyed some rest, transfer speculation has taken centre stage.
One of the talking points has been Trent Alexander-Arnold’s brief appearance in the Reds’ 2-2 draw with Arsenal last weekend. Head coach Arne Slot, however, has been eager to shift focus away from any controversy related to the defender’s future departure, especially with two key fixtures remaining in the league.
Attention has swiftly turned to preparations for next season. Reports suggesting a potential move for Jeremie Frimpong to Liverpool have gained momentum, alongside growing speculation that the Premier League champions have entered the race to sign Florian Wirtz.
As the Bundesliga season concluded on Saturday, uncertainty around the futures of Frimpong and Wirtz is expected to deepen, especially with the summer transfer window fast approaching. Against this backdrop, Newsnow reviews the most recent transfer rumours and developments concerning the Reds.
Jeremie Frimpong ‘set’ for Liverpool Medical
David Ornstein of The Athletic reported on Saturday that Jeremie Frimpong is scheduled to undergo a medical ahead of a proposed transfer to Liverpool.
The Netherlands international has reached an agreement on a five-year contract with the Reds, with the club preparing to activate his release clause, which is believed to be in the region of £30 million.
Journalist David Lynch added that Frimpong is expected to arrive in the area within the next 48 hours to complete his medical checks before signing, making him Arne Slot’s third addition since taking over as head coach.
This summer is shaping up to be a significant one for Liverpool, and the club appears to be wasting no time in strengthening the squad in their bid to retain the Premier League title.
Conor Bradley recently committed his future to the club by signing a new four-year contract, following similar extensions by Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah.
According to The ECHO, Liverpool are moving forward with their strategy to reinforce the full-back position, with Frimpong’s arrival seen as a key part of that plan.
Discussions have taken place, and the Reds are expected to activate the release clause, in a move that mirrors the successful acquisitions of Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai.
