Fabrizio Romano has given his trademark ‘here we go’ to Liverpool’s first transfer of the summer.
A move for Jeremie Frimpong gathered serious momentum in recent days before being effectively confirmed by the Italian reporter on Friday evening, and Ben Jacobs broke the news last night that the Dutch right-back has passed his medical on Merseyside.
All that’s left now is for the final formalities of the deal to be boxed off before the transaction is officially confirmed by the Premier League champions, and it seems that a formal announcement could come as early as tomorrow.
Romano gives ‘here we go’ to Frimpong transfer
On Tuesday morning, Romano took to X with an update on Liverpool’s move for Frimpong, with the 24-year-old expected to put pen to paper at Anfield by Wednesday lunchtime.
The transfer guru posted: ‘Jeremie Frimpong will sign his contract at Liverpool in the next 24 hours, deal confirmed. Dutch RB has completed first and second part of his medical with formal steps and announcement to follow. Here we go, confirmed.’

Frimpong deal gives Liverpool further cause for celebration
It’s reported that the transfer will cost the Reds just under £30m, a remarkably low release clause for a player who’s already proven himself at a high level in Europe and is only now coming into what should be his prime footballing years.
In the likely event that the deal is officially announced prior to the match against Crystal Palace on Sunday, it’ll provide Kopites with further cause for celebration on the day that Arne Slot’s squad will be presented with the Premier League trophy.
Richard Hughes deserves enormous credit for being so quick off the mark to get Frimpong signed before the summer transfer window opens on 1 June, with the Liverpool sporting director sending out a powerful early statement of intent.
His attention can now turn towards the ongoing pursuit of the Dutchman’s teammate Florian Wirtz, which’d be a much more expensive and complicated acquisition to complete but would represent an exceptional coup if it does come off.
The plans to cement the Reds as the dominant force in English football over the next few months are already well underway!
Great seeing Trent replaced so swiftly. Nice one by Rich and co.
Wirtz is overrated and too expensive. Why on earth is Liverpool signing such an overrated player.
It’s absolutely insane and foolish to me.
Why not Rodrygo instead of Wirtz?
Who would you rather they go for?
Relax, it’s just media speculation. #FSG is too stingy and money conscious to sanction such a deal when there are other deals they ought to do. Just like Jude Bellingham situation. Klopp saved for 2 seasons to sign him and FSG refused, their reason, other reinforcements needed for outgoing ones. It’ll die down soon.
You clearly don’t watch football or understand it properly. Wirtz is the most promising player in the world outside of Madrid and Barcelona. Signing him sends a real statement of intent. Getting him would be a major coup. Expensive? Yes. But worth it? Absolutely yes – with more money in European football and potential Club World Cups.
Is he coming to Anfield or not?
Welcome to Anfield
If LFC àre determined to be competitive they should sign either Write, Rodgers or Eze to instill creativity now that Arnold is exting.If that can happen the reds can challenge again on all fronts.
I think Liverpool should turn their attention now to the other flank and try and acquire Kerkez.
I want this
I believe we need an Eze in the squad as Eze is something else. With Eze, Frimpong, Kerkez & Florian Wirtz we’d have a good chance at retaining the Premier Peague title and more. We got this, YNWA.
