Bayer Leverkusen i Jeremie Frimpong u žiži interesovanja
So far in this 2023/24 campaign, Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong has shown himself to be one of the standout players in his position across Europe. The 23-year-old right wing-back has helped his team move to within one game of an unbeaten Bundesliga season, and with the Europa League Final and German Cup Final to come within a week after the end of the domestic campaign, Leverkusen are three matches away from creating something unprecedented and historic. According to WhoScored, Frimpong has weighed in with 14 goals and seven assists in all competitions. That’s sensational form whichever way you look at it, and it’s no wonder that some of European football’s most storied outfits are circling. The likes of Man United, Man City, Arsenal and Real Madrid have all been handed encouragement in their potential pursuit of the player too, after BILD (subscription required) noted that Frimpong is edging towards the exit door at Leverkusen. The outlet suggest that a decision will have to be made before the European Championship, which starts in a month’s time. Should Frimpong decide to bow out at the top, so to speak, the competition for a player with a release clause of just £35m is likely to be fierce. It isn’t known whether the player would prefer a move to the Premier League or La Liga, with clubs in either offering something different. Were Real Madrid to win the Champions League again for example, and given that they’re expected to land Kylian Mbappe to add to their star-studded squad, there would be an obvious appeal in moving to the Spanish top-flight. However, the chance to play under arguably the best coach of his generation in Pep Guardiola might also be too much to resist. Whomever ends up signing the player will know exactly what they’re getting and Frimpong will almost certainly improve any squad he joins.
Do sada u ovom kampanji 2023/24, Jeremie Frimpong iz Bayer Leverkusena pokazao se kao jedan od istaknutih igrača na svojoj poziciji širom Evrope. 23-godišnji desni bek je pomogao svojoj ekipi da se približi jednoj neizgubljenoj Bundesligi, a predstoje im finala Europske lige i njemačkog Kupa tjedan dana nakon završetka domaće sezone. Leverkusen je tri utakmice daleko od stvaranja nečega neviđenog i istorijskog. Prema podacima WhoScored-a, Frimpong je doprinio sa 14 golova i sedam asistencija u svim natjecanjima. To je senzacionalna forma bez obzira na to kako je pogledate, i nije čudo što neki od najpoznatijih europskih klubova tragaju za njim. Klubovi poput Man United, Man City, Arsenala i Real Madrida dobili su podršku u potencijalnom lovu na igrača, nakon što je BILD primijetio da Frimpong polako ide prema izlaznim vratima Leverkusena. Izvor sugerira da će se morati donijeti odluka prije početka Europskog prvenstva, koje počinje za mjesec dana. Ako Frimpong odluči otići na vrhuncu, kao da kažem, konkurencija za igrača sa otkupnom klauzulom od samo £35m će biti žestoka. Nije poznato da li bi igrač više volio prelazak u Premier ligu ili La Ligu, pri čemu klubovi u obje lige nude nešto drugačije. Na primjer, ako Real Madrid ponovno osvoji Ligu prvaka, i s obzirom da se očekuje da će dovesti Kyliana Mbappea u svoj zvjezdani sastav, očigledno bi bilo privlačno preći u špansku prvu ligu. Međutim, šansa da igra pod možda najboljim trenerom svoje generacije, Pep Guardiolom, također bi mogla biti prevelika da bi se odoljelo. Ko god da na kraju potpiše igrača, tačno će znati šta će dobiti i Frimpong će gotovo sigurno poboljšati bilo koji tim u koji dođe.
