Bayer Leverkusen make €25m decision that will interest Celtic | OneFootball

It is no secret that Jeremie Frimpong leaving this summer would come as a boost for Celtic. The Scottish club, where the Dutchman first made a name for himself in the senior game, are believed to hold a significant sell-on clause. His release clause at Bayer Leverkusen is said to be around €40 million.

Of course, if that release clause is met, it would mean a significant windfall for Celtic in the summer. Clubs like Liverpool, Barcelona, Man Utd, Man City and more have been linked with a move for Frimpong in recent times.

But what will Bayer Leverkusen choose to do? Well, it looks like they are already preparing for life after Frimpong and looking for replacements.

As reported by AS, Bayer Leverkusen have targeted Andrei Ratiu as a possible replacement for Frimpong. Rayo Vallecano want the full €25 million release clause for the Romanian international right-back.

The summer transfer window could be a game of dominos. Trent Alexander-Arnold looks set to leave Liverpool for Real Madrid, which has made the Premier League club the favourites to sign Frimpong. But at the same time, Arne Slot's side have been linked with Ratiu as well, who is also on the radar of Bayer Leverkusen.

Of course, Celtic will want to see Frimpong move for as big of a transfer fee as possible. Considering the modern-day transfer market and the level of the clubs being linked with the Dutchman, one would expect that €40 million release clause to be met by one of the teams.

It remains to be seen what the future holds for Frimpong. But expect to see him playing his football for one of the best teams in all of Europe in the very near future. Let's see how things play out.
