Jeremie Frimpong is poised for a transfer exit in the coming months, with a significant release clause of €40 million sparking interest from major European clubs.

CeltsAreHere has recently written about how the Hoops are expected to rake in 30% of the fee, which could be up to €12 million.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has confirmed this clause, noting the attention Frimpong has garnered from teams like Arsenal, Bayern Munich, and previously Barcelona. This potential move could have a notable financial impact on Celtic due to a sell-on clause in his contract.

Romano, speaking to Caught Offside, acknowledged the strong performances Frimpong has delivered at Bayer Leverkusen, particularly under the guidance of manager Xabi Alonso, who’s making quite the impact in the dugout.

These performances have not gone unnoticed, with Arsenal and Bayern Munich actively scouting the 22-year-old right-back.

Barcelona’s interest was noted, but their acquisition of Joao Cancelo on loan from Manchester City has seemingly shifted their focus.

Romano anticipates that a move for Frimpong is more likely to occur in June, considering the high level of interest from top clubs. His departure from Leverkusen seems inevitable, given his current form and the substantial release clause that makes him an attractive prospect for many teams.

The key question for Celtic and its supporters is how this potential income will be reinvested in the squad. With Brendan Rodgers at the helm, there is a strong expectation that the club should use such funds to enhance the team’s quality, particularly in light of recent record revenues and the possible Frimpong sale.

The pressure is on the Celtic board to provide Rodgers with a substantial transfer budget, ensuring that the team remains competitive and continues to attract top talent with the quality to compete in the Champions League.
