Real Madrid will look to bolster the full-back department this summer, with Jeremie Frimpong reportedly emerging as a target.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo, Jeremie Frimpong is the subject of interest from Real Madrid. The reigning La Liga champions want to bolster their full-back unit in the summer transfer window. And the Bayer Leverkusen full-back, whose market value is €35 million, has emerged as a target.
Jeremie Frimpong has journeyed across Europe since his youth career. The 22-year-old spent most of his formative years with Manchester City before joining Celtic in September 2019. But his stock has skyrocketed since moving to Bundesliga club Bayer Leverkusen in January 2021.
The Dutchman has established himself as one of the best full-backs in the Bundesliga in the last two years. And the youngster has enjoyed a solid 2022/23 season, chipping in with seven goals and nine assists in 35 appearances thus far. Meanwhile, his market value has risen to €35 million. And Frimpong’s progress has not gone unnoticed, with Real Madrid among his prospective suitors.
Real Madrid must bolster the right-back options amid Dani Carvajal’s inconsistencies. The veteran Spaniard has seen his performance levels drop in the last few seasons. And that has affected Real Madrid’s offensive output while leaving them vulnerable at the back. In addition, Lucas Vazquez is no longer a dependable right-back.
At the same time, Alvaro Odriozola does not feature in Carlo Ancelotti’s plans. So it is clear that Real Madrid can improve considerably with a top-class right-back. And several candidates, including Reece James, have popped up on Real Madrid’s radar. But Jeremie Frimpong is also a viable target for Los Blancos.
The Dutchman is highly sought-after, with Manchester United among the front-runner for his signature. But the lure of playing for Real Madrid can turn Frimpong’s head. And the reigning La Liga champions are financially strong enough to afford him, even if Bayer Leverkusen will demand more than his market value of €35 million.

Interestingly, Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso is a candidate to replace Carlo Ancelotti at the Santiago Bernabeu. And it will not be surprising if the Spaniard reunites with Frimpong at Real Madrid, with both leaving the Bundesliga club together.
