Earlier this month, Sky Deutschland journalist Florian Plettenberg reported Manchester United are in the picture to sign Jeremie Frimpong. He also stated the Bayer Leverkusen star would make a decision on his future by the end of April.
SportBild talks about Manchester United’s interest in the right-back when discussing the German club’s plans to reshape their squad.
Bayer Leverkusen can win the title at the weekend and their aim is to keep the majority of their squad intact for next season.
Xabi Alonso and Bayer Leverkusen sporting director Simon Rolfes are working on retaining the 23-year-old, but there are three clubs in the running to sign him.
This is when Manchester United are tagged, and it’s said the Red Devils, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid have ‘registered their interest’, so made some sort of contact.
The report adds nothing is concrete yet and Frimpong is comfortable at the club. Therefore, Manchester United and others will have to convince the player over a summer transfer.
The Netherlands international’s contract lasts until 2028 and SportBild state it has a €40m release clause that needs to be exercised before the Euros start on June 14th.
Erik ten Hag’s side and other clubs have over two months to activate the clause to buy the Dutchman.
Operating mainly as a right wing-back, Frimpong has managed 12 goals and 11 assists from 36 games this season.
