FCB is looking for a new right-back. Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong is considered a candidate. It’s probably cheap in the summer.
Munich – Bayer Leverkusen is having an outstanding season so far and is leading the Bundesliga table. Consequently, the stars of the “Werkself” arouse desire with their performances – even among Xabi Alonso’s team’s closest rivals, FC Bayern. In recent months there have been repeated rumors that Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz could move to the Bavarian capital. But apparently the Munich team also has their eye on a teammate of the DFB star: Jeremie Frimpong could rotate on Bayern’s right flank in the future.
Born:10. December 2000 (age 22 years) in Amsterdam Positions: Right full-back, right midfielder Contract with Bayer 04 Leverkusen until: 30. June 2028 Market value (according to transfermarkt.de): 45 million euros
Not just Wirtz: Does FC Bayern help themselves twice from Bayer Leverkusen?
Sports journalist Christian Falk reports this to the English portal Caught Offside. Accordingly, in addition to Wirtz, Frimpong’s personality was “always under discussion” at Bayern. “But under the former sports director Hasan Salihamidzic the player was not valued highly enough,” wrote Falk.
However, this has “changed under the new leadership.” Brazzo’s successor as Bayern sports director, Christoph Freund, apparently thinks highly of the Dutchman, who celebrated his international debut for “Oranje” against France in October. “The name Frimpong could become current,” said Falk, with a view to Munich’s transfer activities in the near future.

FCB looking for right-back: Bayer’s Frimpong probably won’t come in winter
Freund recently revealed that Bayern were already exploring the market for a new right-back in the winter. But there will probably not be a Frimpong transfer in the coming transfer window.
On the one hand, he is in the title fight with Bayer, is a regular player in Leverkusen and is unlikely to leave Xabi Alonso’s team in the middle of the season. On the other hand, the 22-year-old only extended his long-term contract in October until 2028. In addition, the offensive-minded right-back has been playing outstandingly so far, scoring six goals and assisting seven goals in 18 competitive games. These circumstances and the timing would probably make a commitment in the winter very expensive.
Will Bayern strike in the summer? Leverkusen’s Frimpong would be available cheaply
A change for Frimpong after the season is much more likely. Like transfer expert Fabrizio Romano and Sky According to consistent reports, there is an exit clause of 40 million euros in the right-back’s contract.
According to Romano, this is only valid next summer. Considering its market value of 45 million euros (according to transfermarkt.de) and its outstanding shape, this would be an absolute bargain price at a great time.

FC Bayern is probably interested in Leverkusen’s Frimpong
Because in the summer of 2024, Bayern will probably have an acute need for Frimpong’s position. In addition to Noussair Mazraoui, there is currently only one right-back in the Munich squad: Bouna Sarr, who recently tore a cruciate ligament and will be missing from the record champions for a long time. It is unlikely that the Senegalese’s contract, which expires in June next year, will be extended.
The alleged interest of the reigning German champions in the Leverkusen winger is not new. Frimpong was already linked with a move to Bayern last year, but no transfer took place back then. (wuc)
