Jeremie Frimpong release clause ‘revealed’ as Celtic learn exactly how much transfer windfall they can bank

Given that the right defender is anticipated to depart Leverkusen, Jeremie Frimpong might fetch Celtic a cool €6

million next summer.

This is because, should any elite clubs exercise his €40 million release clause, the Hoops will be eligible to receive

30% of whatever profit the Bundesliga team makes. According to Sky Sports Germany, Leverkusen anticipates the

22-year-old leaving at the end of this campaign. Frimpong is drawing interest from all across Europe and has

previously been connected to teams like Manchester United.

His current team will soon be able to cash in, which is fantastic news for Celtic, who in 2019 paid just £350,000 to

acquire Frimpong from Manchester City. In January 2021, they sold him to Germany for £11.5 million. Only last

month did Frimpong sign a contract extension with Leverkusen, extending his stay until 2028. However, it appears

that the club was more concerned with guaranteeing a summer salary, which would help Brendan Rodgers’ transfer

budget.

“News Jeremie Frimpong: Leverkusen expects him to leave the club in 2024,” wrote journalist Florian Plettenburg.

The 22-year-old is likewise eager to go.

“He has a €40 million summer release clause! Another amazing season. Currently the best right winger/right back in

the Bundesliga, with six goals and seven assists in 17 games.
