Celtic’s summer Windfall as Jeremie Frimpong tipped for lucrative Liverpool move

Frimpong may depart Bayer Leverkusen this summer, with numerous top European clubs poised to make their move. Celtic stand to make a substantial profit, thanks to a 30 percent sell-on clause included in the £11 million transfer that saw him move to Germany in January 2021.

Former Celtic teammate Christopher Jullien is convinced that the Dutch international would be the perfect successor to Trent Alexander-Arnold, who is set to join Real Madrid, at Anfield.

“Wow, that would be crazy”

Speaking via The Herald, he said: “Wow, that would be crazy. Yeah, I think that he has the quality for it, though. He has shown it at the highest level against big opponents with Leverkusen, and I think he would be up for the challenge. He’s a really good player.”

After being signed from Manchester City’s reserves by Neil Lennon in 2019, Frimpong’s career has soared, and at 24, he is now regarded as one of the top right-backs globally.

“I told our new right-back at Montpelier about the story of Jeremie, and how football goes so fast.”

Under Xabi Alonso, Jeremie Frimpong has elevated his performance to new heights, surpassing expectations and helping secure the Bundesliga title last season. Currently playing in Ligue 1, Jullien outlined: “I told our new right-back at Montpelier about the story of Jeremie, and how football goes so fast.”

“I remember during the transfer window, he was not even in the team, and that he joined on Deadline Day or something like that. Then, after the international break that September, he began training with us, joined the squad, and made his debut two or three weeks later.”

“He was just unbelievable – you could not take him out of the team”

“He was just unbelievable – you could not take him out of the team. Now, he is doing well at Bayer Leverkusen, and I think he will probably do even more at other clubs, because I did see that there were a lot of clubs interested in him. I am happy for him, because he deserves it. He has a good mentality, he is a good lad, and he deserves every inch of everything that he is doing. What a result for him.”
