Barcelona Ready £35m Frimpong Move as Liverpool Open Exit Door

Jeremie Frimpong's Liverpool nightmare could have a Barcelona escape route. According to Spanish journalist Juan Jesus, posting on X on October 5, Barça want to sign the right-back to strengthen the position, and Liverpool are ready to sanction an exit for £35 million.

The claim is that manager Hansi Flick requested Frimpong in his first year alongside Dani Olmo, and sporting director Deco has kept tabs on the situation ever since. Frimpong, the report says, is struggling to adapt to England, has featured for only 31 Champions League minutes this season, and does not figure in Andoni Iraola's plans, who prefers Ronald Araújo on the right side. The player is said to be very open to the move.

Former Netherlands star Ruud Gullit weighed in late last month, arguing Liverpool are misusing him: Frimpong is a right winger being asked to play right-back, and that is not his position. With the January window approaching, Barcelona's interest in one of Europe's most explosive wing-backs is one to watch.
