Man Utd handed chance to sign Jeremie Frimpong as Bayer Leverkusen plan mega upheaval

Manchester United have the opportunity to sign right-back Jeremie Frimpong this summer with Bayer Leverkusen planning a mega upheaval of the squad, according to Bild.

The Red Devils have been heavily linked with the Dutchman this campaign and there were suggestions that they would make an approach to sign him in the January transfer window.

This did not happen due to limited funds but the club could revisit their interest in the summer with Leverkusen willing to part ways with multiple players to recoup funds.

The Bundesliga outfit have had a ‘crisis season’ in the German top-flight and they are currently lying 10th in the standings, 12 points adrift of the Champions League places.

Meanwhile, Leverkusen are 10 points behind the final European spot, occupied by SC Freiburg. It seems likely that they may not be playing European football next season.

Hence, the club are planning an overhaul of the squad with Frimpong, Piero Hincapie and Moussa Diaby touted to leave. They are eyeing at least €100 million from the trio’s exit.
