Leverkusen’s Carro: Africa by Rumor Train…
In a twist more unexpected than a goalkeeper doing a backflip, Bayer Leverkusen’s managing director, Fernando Carro, finds himself tangled in a yarn of transfer intrigue. It seems Jeremie Frimpong’s passport has been stamped by Liverpool rumor-mongers even faster than a Mo Salah penalty rocket! But Carro, bewildered as a cat in a dog park, declared his surprise, saying he’s as clueless as a magician slipping on a banana peel about this imminent Liverpool transfer.
Frimpong, who has danced his way from Manchester City to Celtic, is bound to show up on Liverpool’s radar wearing a crown of ‘homegrown talent.’ With an escape hatch priced at $39 million (ÂŁ30 million), he’s like a tempting chocolate cookie nobody wants to share. Yet, Carro claims to be blissfully unaware of such transfer ballet, despite the press spinning faster than a roulette at Monte Carlo.
Leverkusen, soon to wave goodbye to their maestro Xabi Alonso, are playing a tune of uncertainty, with Carro hoping for a calmer transfer symphony. Besides, Frimpong himself once dreamt of following in Van Dijk’s boots, though he left Manchester City faster than a squirrel in a cat chase! Liverpool fans, meanwhile, are ready to welcome him with open arms – and possibly a sparkling jersey from Fanatics, sprinkled with a dusting of online shopping glamour.
