Man United and Man City have an eye on Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong as the Manchester clubs get ready to challenge Liverpool for the full-back ahead of the 2025 transfer windows.
The Merseyside club could be in the market for a new right-back next year as the future of Trent Alexander-Arnold at Anfield has yet to be resolved.

The problem for Liverpool is that the Netherlands international’s displays did not only impress the Merseyside outfit but both Manchester clubs as well.
