During international break periods, the sports management of major teams take the opportunity to follow specific players or even advance operations. At Barça, this is no different... and Deco was closely following the big match on Thursday night, with the Netherlands and Spain facing each other. Beyond the Barça players, the sporting director wanted to take a look at one of Hansi Flick's requests when he arrived: Jeremie Frimpong.
Against Spain, Jeremie Frimpong proved to be an elite player in his position. Although he usually occupies the right-back position at Bayer Leverkusen, the truth is that at Barça he is not usually seen there. The idea, if his arrival ends up happening, would be to place him in the offensive front, where he offers explosive and very necessary moments of breakthrough.
At 24 years old, Frimpong intends to leave Leverkusen and would be delighted to wear Barça's jersey. So far, he has scored 4 goals and 11 assists with his club, believing in the Catalan capital that his great offensive virtues could be much better exploited here.
If Jeremie Frimpong ends up joining Barça, Hansi Flick is clear that he would use him as a game-changer from the bench. He likes him a lot in a more offensive position, with a full-back behind. But he is also convinced of him as a substitute for Koundé, trying to give the French defender a bit more rest.
Deco Follows Him, It's a Bargain: Jeremie Frimpong Costs Only 40M
What is very appealing about Jeremie Frimpong is his low price. This summer he will leave Leverkusen and can do so for only 40M euros. This is what his release clause states, putting him on the market at a very economical price. Deco would be willing to pay, although he would try to lower the operation by adding Barça players in exchange.
Hansi Flick requested him as soon as he arrived and has once again given his OK to this operation. Jeremie Frimpong is liked and generates consensus at Barça, although it is true that priority is given to other moves. It is considered key to strengthen the offensive front with a '9' for the present and future, especially considering that Lewandowski has little time left.
The option of Jeremie Frimpong is on the table and after what was seen in the Netherlands-Spain match, Deco wants to keep it alive at Barça.
