Manchester City’s potential interest in former Celtic standout Jeremie Frimpong could lead to a significant financial boost for Celtic this summer.
After a standout season with Bayer Leverkusen, where he played a pivotal role in their Bundesliga triumph, Frimpong has attracted attention from his former club, Manchester City. This interest comes amid speculation about the future of City’s current right-back, Kyle Walker. [The Athletic]
Frimpong, who is currently representing the Netherlands at the Euros, moved from Celtic to Leverkusen with a transfer clause that could now prove lucrative for the Scottish giants. Celtic smartly negotiated a deal that includes a 30% sell-on fee on the profit of any future sale of Frimpong.
With the player’s release clause reportedly set at €40 million, Leverkusen stands to make a significant profit from his initial sale price, which could, in turn, net Celtic around £7 million.
Celtic will meet Manchester City on their tour of the States, could Frimpong face his old club again, but this time for Man City?
