Hoops Review: Celtic will bank £23m if Bayern Munich complete the purchase of Bayer Leverkusen star.

Jeremie Frimpong is a transfer target for Bayern Munich this summer, which might benefit Celtic if a bidding war breaks out.

The right-back joins the Hoops in 2019 after spending time in Manchester City’s youth, and will leave for Bayer Leverkusen in 2021. Since then, he has progressed through the ranks of European football, and he is currently regarded as one of the continent’s best players in his position as a crucial member of a Bayer Leverkusen team vying for the Bundesliga title.

According to Sky Germany, he is on Bayern’s list of potential summer transfers. Leverkusen is also participating in the Europa League and made a bid in the area of £11.5 million for the Dutch international got him from Glasgow.

The 30% sell-on clause, which Celtic are said to have included, is expected to net them even more cash. His transfer release clause fee is estimated to be around €45 million, or £38.4 million. At 30%, Celtic might receive almost £11.5 million, which is the same amount they paid for him over three years ago. That would bring Frimpong’s cash banked to £23 million, and with other teams monitoring, according to the report, the top end of the spectrum may spark a bidding battle.

According to Sky Sports’ Florian Pettenburg, “The 23-year-old wing-back is back on FC Bayern’s list!” His performances have impressed the bosses! His release clause is now set at €40-45 million.

“If Bayern choose a coach who intends to play with a back three in the future, Frimpong will be a top candidate this summer. The player has not made a decision yet. “Several top clubs have recently expressed interest.”
