Bayer Leverkusen sensation Jeremie Frimpong has sent shockwaves through the football world after openly discussing his dream destinations, with Liverpool and Real Madrid firmly in his sights.
The electrifying right-back, who played a pivotal role in Leverkusen's historic Bundesliga triumph, dropped the major transfer hint during an exclusive interview, leaving fans of both European giants on high alert.
Dutch Defender's Dream Destinations Revealed
When pressed about his ultimate career ambitions, Frimpong didn't hold back: "If I had to choose, it would be Real Madrid or Liverpool. They're two massive clubs with such rich histories."
The 23-year-old Dutch international has been turning heads across Europe with his blistering pace and attacking prowess, contributing an impressive 14 goals and 12 assists across all competitions last season.
Release Clause Creates Transfer Frenzy
What makes this revelation particularly explosive is Frimpong's relatively modest €40 million release clause - a bargain price for a player of his calibre in today's inflated transfer market.
Both Liverpool and Real Madrid are known to be in the market for reinforcements in the full-back positions, making Frimpong an attractive proposition for either club.
Xabi Alonso Connection Adds Intrigue
The plot thickens when considering Frimpong's relationship with Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso, who remains a legendary figure at both Anfield and the Bernabéu. Many speculate that Alonso's mentorship could give either club a significant advantage in the race for Frimpong's signature.
With the summer transfer window heating up, all eyes will be on whether Liverpool's new manager Arne Slot or Real Madrid's Carlo Ancelotti makes the first move for one of Europe's most exciting defensive talents.
