Liverpool is closing in on a deal to sign Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen.

The Dutchman has a $39 million release clause in his contract with the German club, which appeals to the Reds, and the deal is expected to be wrapped up swiftly following the conclusion of the Bundesliga season this weekend.

Liverpool is in the market for a new right-back following confirmation of Trent Alexander-Arnold's impending departure, which finally came at the beginning of last week.

Alexander-Arnold is leaving to join Real Madrid on a free transfer after allowing his contract on Merseyside to run down.

The right-back was booed by thousands of fans inside Anfield upon making his first appearance for the club since announcing his exit.

The Athletic reports that there is increasing confidence from Frimpong's camp that an agreement for the player to join Liverpool will be struck.

Frimpong signed a new contract at Leverkusen in October 2023, which runs until the summer of 2028, but it includes a release clause which allows him to leave should it be met.

Considering his status as one of the most in-demand right-sided players in Europe, a $39 million release clause is deemed by Liverpool to be more than acceptable.
