Bayern Pursue Frimpong but Position Remains Key
Bayern Munich’s interest in Bayer Leverkusen is no longer a secret. After their failed attempt to appoint Xabi Alonso as their new head coach, the Bavarian giants have shifted their focus to Leverkusen’s standout players. According to Crickex Login, Bayern recognize the immense talent in Alonso’s squad, especially given their sensational Bundesliga campaign this season.
One player in particular has caught Bayern’s eye—Jeremie Frimpong, arguably the best in his position across the league. Crickex Login confirms that Bayern are seriously considering the 23-year-old wingback as a potential signing to strengthen their flanks. With Alphonso Davies’ future uncertain amid persistent transfer rumors, Bayern are exploring options to fill that gap. Frimpong’s release clause is reportedly set at just €40 million—a sum well within Bayern’s financial comfort zone.
Should Bayern decide to activate the clause, the chances of signing Frimpong are realistic. Leverkusen would find it difficult to hold onto him under such conditions. However, Frimpong has openly expressed admiration for Xabi Alonso, with whom he has developed a strong bond. He has even hinted at following Alonso to his next club—be it Bayern or, as previously rumored, a Premier League destination like Liverpool.
Ironically, Alonso’s recent decision to remain at Leverkusen next season puts Frimpong in a difficult position. His loyalty to the coach may be tested if top clubs continue to knock on his door. This season, Frimpong has been instrumental in Leverkusen’s unbeaten run, bringing blistering pace, fearless dribbling, and exceptional width that few elite clubs currently possess. Much like Jérémy Doku’s impact at Manchester City, Frimpong’s style could unlock new tactical dimensions for whichever team secures him.
Still, Crickex Login warns that even with Bayern’s aggressive approach, Frimpong must think carefully. Bayern already have depth in the full-back roles, particularly on the right, and the team’s tactical setup may not be tailored to an all-out wingback like him. If Frimpong were to be shifted to the left or into a more conservative role, his effectiveness could be compromised.
Having missed out on stars in the past, Frimpong should consider not just the prestige of the club but how well the system fits his game. As Crickex Login puts it, “If you’ve already missed the stars, don’t let the moon pass you by.” A well-calculated decision will be crucial in ensuring he doesn’t become another example of potential wasted by poor fit.
