Frimpong’s Comedy of Errors and Liverpool Dreams…
Jeremie Frimpong, the guy who once said it would be “great” to join Liverpool, is back in the transfer rumor mill hotter than a cup of tea. With Trent Alexander-Arnold eyeing a Spanish siesta in Real Madrid, Liverpool might need a new right-sided defender this summer. Frimpong, the excitable ex-Man City chap now with Bayer Leverkusen, seems to be the prime suspect fit for the Reds.
Last year, Frimpong chuckled about Liverpool’s legendary status, saying, “A great club, with history. That would be great. Who knows what the future will bring?” Fast forward to now, and Liverpool’s head coach Arne Slot is whispering sweet secrets to Frimpong about that tempting $44 million release clause in his contract. Still, the hunt depends on the futures of Mr. Anfield, Virgil van Dijk, and Mo Salah. It’s almost like a football version of musical chairs.
Frimpong nearly joined Liverpool as a youngster, but alas, driving to Anfield was as tricky as dribbling past Van Dijk. The bus ride to Man City was 15 minutes away, so he settled for the Sky Blues. It’s a classic case of the bus route less traveled – who knew public transport could shape football careers?
