Liverpool’s move for Frimpong opens the door for Manchester United to cash in. Now, Garnacho emerges as a €47.5m target for Bayer Leverkusen.
Frimpong Exit Creates Big Opportunity for United
Manchester Utd are set to benefit from Jeremie Frimpong’s switch to Liverpool. As Bayer Leverkusen look to reinvest their €40 million earnings. The Dutch full-back joined the Reds as a long-term replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold, after Liverpool triggered his full release clause.
While some feel Leverkusen got less than Frimpong’s real market worth. He was valued closer to €54.5 million. But, now the Bundesliga champions are already working on filling the gap.
Erik ten Hag is now in charge at the German side. He has turned his attention back to Old Trafford in search of fresh talent. And he has reportedly tracking Alejandro Garnacho as Frimpong’s possible replacement.
Meanwhile, Red Devils are looking to offload a few stars to make room for new signings. So, the timing seems great for both clubs to make a deal.
Garnacho On The Market As Utd Eye Summer Boost
Ruben Amorim’s side is open to selling Garnacho this June. And his price tag has now been lowered to €47.5 million (£40m). That is despite his market value being around €60 million. Issues behind the scenes have made the Argentine winger a likely option for sale.
Ten Hag knows the winger’s ability and their experiences together. The manager believes the player could fit in perfectly at Leverkusen. For Utd, selling the 19-year-old would be a huge benefit to their summer budget.
The Reds are hoping to sign Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyokeres. They value him at €70 million, but need to free up funds to enable that move. So, selling Garnacho not only gives them financial breathing room but also helps ease dressing room unrest. In the end, Frimpong’s exit may just become the perfect stepping stone for United’s summer rebuild.
