When Manchester City sold Jeremie Frimpong to Celtic in 2019, few could have predicted his meteoric rise in European football.
Since leaving the City Football Academy, the Dutchman has grown into one of Europe’s best wing-backs, and his current price tag will undoubtedly make Txiki Begiristain’s eyes water.
So, what is the most recent news on Jeremie Frimpong for Manchester City fans to chew on? Let us take a look…
Frimpong is now one of Europe’s most valuable players.
In September 2019, Manchester City received £350,000 from Celtic.
Frimpong is now valued at €80.6 million (£69.5 million) by the CIES Football Observatory after rising to prominence with Bayer Leverkusen.
The Netherlands international made an impression at Celtic, but since Xabi Alonso joined Bayer Leverkusen, the Amsterdam-born defender has struggled.
Frimpong has scored seven goals and provided ten assists in just 22 appearances this season, helping Bayer Leverkusen to the Bundesliga title.
It means that the 23-year-old is now worth more than 231 times what Manchester City paid for him.
Frimpong is open to a return to Manchester City.
Frimpong, interestingly, has stated that he would like to return to the Etihad Stadium one day.
“It would be great, but I don’t know,” the Bayer Leverkusen No.30 told Marca. They recently won the Champions League and are currently the best team in the world. We’ll see in the future.
