Surprise Bayer Leverkusen reaction as Jeremie Frimpong to Liverpool links grow.

Bayer Leverkusen director Fernando Carro has revealed the club have had no contact from Liverpool over right-back Jeremie Frimpong. Claiming the Premier League champions will imminently trigger his near £30m release clause.

In anticipation of Trent Alexander-Arnold summer exit, Liverpool have set their sights on Frimpong and were recently claime “on the verge” of finalising a deal for the attack-first defender.

that Frimpong has already reached an agreement over personal terms with Liverpool. Which is likely to be the most complicated part of negotiations as the right-back’s contract with Leverkusen includes a release clause. The exact value of the clause is dispute. But is accepte to sit somewhere between €35m-€40m (£29.5m-£33.7m).

Once an agreement with Frimpong is complete, Liverpool would then contact Leverkusen to trigger the clause. There has not yet anything to suggest that is going to happen.

“Jeremie Frimpong has a long contract with us. Which also has an exit clause, but we are currently unaware of any transfer, “The rumours surprised me a bit when I started in the football business seven years ago,” he said. “As I’ve gradually become more involve. There always different intereste parties. There are different parties, there different relationships.

“It’s actually quite difficult to figure out where the rumours come from, but I have to say, there are many that really surprise me.”
