“Very keen on transfer,” Aston Villa target; “club expects him to leave,” contract includes a €40 million release clause

” thus Bayer Leverkusen anticipates he will depart next year.

Journalist Florian Plettenberg claims that Leverkusen is preparing for the departure of one of

its great players in the upcoming months.

Since moving from Celtic to Leverkusen in January 2021 for €11 million,

Frimpong has been on the rise, becoming one of the Bundesliga’s rising talents.

With 13 goals and 16 assists in 53 games thus far,

he has been especially impressive since Xabi Alonso took over as Leverkusen manager.

He plays as a flying full-back under the Spanish manager’s attack-oriented system.

As a result, he has been constantly linked to leaving the team, and a number of

Premier League teams are reportedly keen to move for him.

The final team to be connected to him in October was Aston Villa,

who reportedly watched him and were thinking about moving to rejoin

him with former teammate Moussa Diaby, according to a German newspaper.

Plettenberg says that Leverkusen “expects him to leave” in 2024 since the 22-year-old is

“very keen on a transfer” away from the Bundesliga, but he does not confirm their interest at this time.

Given that he has already contributed seven assists and six goals in 17 league games this season,

the defender’s €40 million release clause for next summer will probably start to seem like a good deal.

Plettenberg’s recent information indicates that there is a chance,

even if it is unclear if Aston Villa will make a move to strengthen their interest in him.

Leverkusen anticipates his departure from the team in 2024. The 22-year-old is eager for a transfer as well.
