Manchester United will compete with Manchester City, Barcelona, and Real Madrid for 24-year-old Dutch wide player Jeremie Frimpong in the summer transfer window.
According to a report by TEAMtalk, Jeremie Frimpong is the subject of interest from Manchester United. The Red Devils are scouring the market for a new right wing-back heading into the summer transfer window and have set their sights on the Bayer Leverkusen wide player. However, they face stiff competition from Manchester City, Barcelona, and Real Madrid for the Dutch full-back.
Jeremie Frimpong and his rising stock
Jeremie Frimpong has established himself as one of the best wing-backs in the Bundesliga since joining Bayer Leverkusen from Celtic in January 2021. The Dutchman has gone from strength to strength in the last four years, becoming a pivotal figure for Die Werkself. He played his part as Bayer Leverkusen won the Bundesliga title and the DFB Pokal in the 2023/24 season and came close to going the entire campaign without a defeat.
While Frimpong has not been as prolific as last term in the 2024/25 campaign, he has contributed to 13 goals in 39 appearances across all competitions, finding the back of the net three times and providing ten assists. Meanwhile, the 24-year-old wide player’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of high-profile clubs like Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester City, and Manchester United.
A man in demand
Hansi Flick reportedly wanted Barcelona to sign the Dutch full-back last summer before the deal failed to see the light of day. The continued interest makes sense, considering Jules Kounde is the only right-back in Flick’s squad. As for Real Madrid, Dani Carvajal is on the wrong side of 30 and approaching the twilight of his career.
While Trent Alexander-Arnold is Real Madrid’s top target to reinforce the right-back berth, Jeremie Frimpong is also a viable target for Los Blancos. Meanwhile, Manchester City’s interest in the Bayer Leverkusen mainstay is understandable, considering Kyle Walker will likely seal a permanent move away from the Etihad in the summer transfer window.
Meanwhile, Manchester United will dip into the market for a new right wing-back, with Diogo Dalot and Noussair Mazraoui failing to make their mark in the position. So, the Dutchman has emerged as a viable target for Manchester United.
The report has claimed that interest from European bigwigs has turned Frimpong’s head, with the 24-year-old Dutch wide player ready to embark on a new adventure in the summer transfer window. So, it will be interesting to see if Manchester United can beat Manchester City, Barcelona, and Real Madrid to his signature.
