Jeremie Frimpong has suggested he didn’t feel trusted by Pep Guardiola during his time at Manchester City, with a move to Liverpool now looking to be in the pipeline.

Links with the Bayer Leverkusen right-back are growing stronger and stronger, with one report in Germany claiming that Frimpong is “on the verge” of joining Liverpool.

As Liverpool.com reported a couple of months ago, the Reds’ interest in Frimpong has been held for a while - although it actually dates back to when he was just nine years old.

Liverpool missed out on the chance to sign Frimpong as a youngster, despite him choosing to join the Reds, with a move to City proving to be more convenient for him and his family at the time.

He would spend nine years with Liverpool’s rival, but failed to force his way into Guardiola’s first-team, and made the decision to leave the club for Celtic in 2019.

Jeremie Frimpong spent nine years at Manchester City.

“I had been at City all my football life and I had the ability to play there,” he told The Scotsman five years ago, shortly after his move to Glasgow.

Obviously I would have loved to play for City, but I knew one day I would leave

Maybe I could go back there one day but right now I am staying here.”

As it turns out, Frimpong now looks set to become a direct rival for City, with reports suggesting he could be closing in on a move to Anfield.

It has been claimed that he will sign a five-year deal with Liverpool, with the Reds set to give Celtic a $7 million boost as part of the transfer.
