First Transfer In January? Celtic TO SPILL E6.7M to sign world-class player

Celtic Set for £6.7m Summer Cash Boost
Celtic could be in line for a significant financial boost this summer, thanks to a sell-on clause negotiated when Jeremie Frimpong left the club for Bayer Leverkusen in 2021.

Frimpong’s Potential Transfer to Liverpool
The Dutchman has been a standout performer for Leverkusen, and reports suggest that Liverpool are interested in signing him for around £34 million. If the transfer materializes, Celtic could receive a substantial sum due to their 30% sell-on clause.

Potential Windfall for Celtic
Leverkusen originally paid Celtic £10 million for Frimpong, meaning any fee above that represents pure profit for the German club. If Liverpool’s £34 million valuation materializes, the profit margin would stand at £24 million. Given Celtic’s 30% entitlement, this would see them pocket around £6.7 million – a sizeable boost to the Hoops’ finances.

Reinvestment Opportunities for Celtic
A financial injection like this could provide Brendan Rodgers with additional resources for summer recruitment. With Celtic looking to strengthen key areas ahead of next season, the funds generated from Frimpong’s transfer could be reinvested into squad improvements, infrastructure, or even contract renewals for key players.

Frimpong’s Rise Since Leaving Celtic
Frimpong’s development since leaving Glasgow has been impressive. The attacking full-back has become one of Europe’s most exciting defenders, excelling in Leverkusen’s dynamic system under Xabi Alonso. His pace, dribbling, and end product have made him a key player in their title win last season, and earned him international recognition with the Netherlands.

Liverpool Move Could Be Imminent
Liverpool’s interest in Frimpong comes as they look to refresh their squad under Arne Slot. With Trent Alexander-Arnold reportedly on the verge of a move to Real Madrid, the Reds see Frimpong as an ideal option to provide attacking width from right-back. If a deal is agreed, Celtic fans will have another reason to keep an eye on the former Hoops star.
