Is Real Madrid currently the best team in the world? They are certainly among the top, but The Royal Club lacks any Dutch players. This situation might soon change as Jeremie Frimpong is reportedly close to completing a transfer to Estadio Santiago Bernabéu.
‘Real Madrid Is Keenly Interested in Jeremie Frimpong’
It’s well known that Real Madrid could use some defensive reinforcements. Injuries frequently plague their squad, impacting players like Éder Militão, David Alaba, and Dani Carvajal. The Madrid side is also seeking fresh talent for the right-back position, with Trent Alexander-Arnold from Liverpool being their top target.
The Reds want to keep their key player and are negotiating a new contract with him. Real Madrid faced a similar situation earlier with Alphonso Davies, who was close to signing a deal at Bernabéu. However, the Canadian extended his contract with Bayern Munich, leaving Carlo Ancelotti and his team empty-handed.
This is why the reigning Champions League winner is now focusing on Frimpong, according to Sky Deutschland. The Dutch international was the subject of numerous rumors last summer, but… “There were no offers that appealed to him. Xabi Alonso’s continued presence eventually convinced Frimpong to stay.”

However, things are expected to change next summer as it’s truly time for Frimpong to take the next step in his soccer career. FC Barcelona and Real Madrid are the clubs of his dreams, according to the aforementioned source.
The wing-back doesn’t come without a price tag. His market value is estimated to be around fifty million euros, and he is contracted with Bayer Leverkusen until mid-2028. Therefore, he is far from being an inexpensive option.
