Bayer Leverkusen say they are ‘unaware’ of Liverpool’s push to sign Jeremie Frimpong.
Liverpool have identified the 24-year-old as a top target to replace Trent Alexander-Arnold, who is leaving to join Real Madrid on a free transfer this summer.
The Netherlands international appears to be a good fit for Arne Slot’s system at Liverpool having played a key role in Leverkusen’s league and cup double success last season with 12 goals and seven assists.
Frimpong, who attracted interest from Manchester United last year, has a €35 million (£29.6m) release clause in his deal with Leverkusen which can be triggered in the summer window.
Reports this week have suggested that Liverpool are closing in on a move to sign Frimpong, however, Leverkusen’s CEO, Fernando Carro, says the German club are in the dark about a possible deal.
‘Jeremie Frimpong has a long contract with us, which also has an exit clause, but we are currently unaware of any transfer,’ Carro told RTL.
Meanwhile, Leverkusen are also facing the prospect of losing Florian Wirtz, who is attracting interest from Bayern Munich and Manchester City ahead of the summer transfer window.
