Sometimes, a transfer needs persuasion. With Jeremie Frimpong, Liverpool needed only to express interest. As soon as the 24-year-old Dutchman heard from the Reds, there was no debate or dithering. His message to his representatives was direct and unambiguous: “Just get this done.”
Frimpong’s £29.6m move from Bayer Leverkusen was confirmed on Friday, with the defender describing the process as swift and straightforward. “Liverpool came and said they had interest, and obviously for me it was a no-brainer. For me, it was like, ‘Whatever you guys do, just get this done,’ [speaking to] my agents,” he told liverpoolfc.com. “It went quite smoothly, there were no problems.”
This wasn’t just a professional switch. It was a footballing alignment between a player hungry for greater success and a club seeking to sharpen its competitive edge under Arne Slot.
Transfers can often be messy. drawn out by posturing and prolonged negotiations. Not this one. The efficiency with which Liverpool tied up the Frimpong deal, just as the window opened, signals a sense of order to their business this summer.
For a club often criticised in recent windows for late moves or missed targets, this proactive signing is a notable shift. And in Frimpong, they’ve brought in more than just a talented right-back. They’ve added a character with drive, clarity, and a burning desire to be part of something bigger.
Born in Amsterdam but raised in Manchester, Frimpong’s return to the northwest feels more like a homecoming than an overseas venture. The presence of fellow Dutch internationals Virgil van Dijk, Cody Gakpo, and Ryan Gravenberch will only ease his integration.
Slot, a manager who knows how to connect with Dutch talent, now has in Frimpong a player who understands the demands of a high-tempo, attacking game. Fresh from winning a Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal double with Leverkusen only a season ago, the defender brings a winning mentality that Liverpool will look to harness.
Frimpong’s decisive stance – and Liverpool’s readiness to act – reflects a mutual belief in what’s being built at Anfield. With his arrival and the prior agreement for Giorgi Mamardashvili, the Reds have already laid early foundations for their 2025 campaign.
There will be tougher deals ahead, but this one sets the tone. Clean, clear, and handled with minimal fuss. That kind of clarity is as rare as it is valuable in modern football.
