Jeremie Frimpong is reportedly open to leaving Liverpool for Barcelona, with Spanish transfer journalist Juan Jesus claiming the right-back does not factor into Andoni Iraola’s plans. Barcelona’s sporting director Deco is said to have Frimpong on his shortlist, with Liverpool open to accepting €35m (£29.7m) for the 25-year-old.
The Dutchman has endured a frustrating spell since his £29.5m arrival from Bayer Leverkusen in summer 2025, hampered by minor injuries and inconsistent performances. Iraola has preferred Ronald Araujo at right-back in recent games, and Frimpong’s defensive work has been described as erratic. Reports of Liverpool’s interest in Brentford right-back Michael Kayode further suggest his position is under threat.
Liverpool could effectively break even on a player the manager no longer trusts, but the club lacks right-back depth. Any injury to Araujo would immediately thrust Frimpong back into contention, and the speculation must be treated with caution until Barcelona or Liverpool confirm formal interest.
