Reliable football journalist Fabrizio Romano has confirmed our exclusive story on Jeremie Frimpong.

The Dutchman has emerged as a major target for Liverpool following Trent Alexander-Arnold’s confirmation that his 20-year association with the club will end this summer.

Good on the ball with an eye for goal, the Bayer Leverkusen man could be a bargain signing for the Reds, given the nature of his release clause.

DAVEOCKOP exclusively revealed more details about Frimpong’s Leverkusen release clause and why it could be key to Liverpool’s desire to sign the wing-back.

The Reds are attracted to the fact that Frimpong’s €35 million (£30 million) release clause is significantly lower than his perceived market value.

Also, we exclusively revealed that the release clause is split into four instalments, with the first payment being a comparative bargain considering the player’s quality.

This flexibility allows the club to allocate resources elsewhere, particularly with a centre-back and forward also on their summer wishlist.

And now Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has confirmed our story regarding the presence of the instalments in the release clause, reiterating that the defender is one of the leading names on Liverpool’s shortlist to replace Trent Alexander-Arnold.”

“Liverpool are well informed on Jeremie Frimpong situation and how the installments are defined for his €35/40m release clause,” he wrote on X.

Frimpong’s attacking prowess as a wing-back in Xabi Alonso’s 3-4-3 system at Bayer Leverkusen has made him one of Europe’s most productive full-backs over the past two seasons.

In the previous 2023/24 campaign, Jeremie Frimpong recorded an outstanding 14 goals and 12 assists in 47 appearances, helping Bayer Leverkusen secure the Bundesliga title, the DFB Pokal, and reach the Europa League final.

His numbers have dropped this season as Leverkusen endured a more ‘normal campaign’, with the 24-year-old managing four goals and 12 assists in the same number of games.
