Liverpool are closing in on a big summer signing as they seek to retain the Premier League title
Arne Slot is keen to bolster his squad for the 2025-26 campaign after only signing Federico Chiesa last summer. Giorgi Mamardashvili will arrive at Liverpool on July 1 after a deal was agreed for the Georgian goalkeeper last summer.
Now Jeremie Frimpong is expected to be the club’s next confirmed summer transfer. Widespread reports over the weekend claimed a deal had been struck between Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen for the defender, with the Reds agreeing to pay his £29.5m release clause. The player also agreed personal terms on what is expected to be a five-year contract.
