Meanwhile, Manchester United has targeted Jeremie Frimpong as Wan-Bissaka’s replacement. The Dutch defender played a key role in Bayer Leverkusen’s unbeaten Bundesliga title in 2023/24. Ten Hag has been monitoring Frimpong since his arrival in 2022, and now seems the right time to pursue the deal.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Man United has reached a preliminary agreement with Bayer Leverkusen for around £30 million. Personal negotiations with Frimpong are progressing positively.
His acquisition would enhance United’s defensive quality, competing directly with Diogo Dalot and diversifying the team’s playing style.
With the recent additions of Dutch assistant coaches Ruud van Nistelrooy and René Hake, Man Utd is becoming an attractive destination for Jeremie Frimpong. Even defender Mathijs de Ligt is eager to join Old Trafford and awaits approval from Bayern Munich.
