Real Madrid Eyes Jeremie Frimpong as Potential Successor to Dani Carvajal

As Real Madrid looks to reinforce various positions in upcoming transfer windows, the need for a long-term successor to Dani Carvajal at right-back is becoming increasingly apparent. Among the names linked to the club, Jeremie Frimpong has emerged as a promising candidate, with a reported €40 million release clause attached to his current deal at Bayer Leverkusen.

Frimpong, who progressed through the youth ranks at Manchester City and made a name for himself at Celtic before joining Bayer Leverkusen, has garnered attention for his standout performances. Despite being linked with prestigious clubs, including Real Madrid, during the summer, he opted to stay with Bayer Leverkusen.

The 21-year-old wingback has been instrumental in Bayer Leverkusen’s impressive start to the season, contributing significantly with 6 goals and 7 assists in 17 appearances. Fabrizio Romano confirmed the presence of a €40 million release clause in Frimpong’s contract, which is set to be active in the upcoming summer transfer window.
