Liverpool are reportedly set to trigger Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong’s €35 million (£29.5m) release clause, aiming to make him their first summer signing.
The move comes as Trent Alexander-Arnold is expected to leave Anfield for Real Madrid when his contract expires.
New Liverpool boss Arne Slot is a fan of the versatile 24-year-old Dutchman, who played a key role in Leverkusen’s Bundesliga triumph last season.
Frimpong, a former Manchester City youth player and Celtic midfielder, could fill the void at right-back.
Celtic are also in line for a significant cut of the transfer fee due to a sell-on clause.
