FC Barcelona has Jeremie Frimpong, the right-back from Liverpool, on their agenda for the upcoming transfer windows. The next Barcelona signing will be to strengthen the defensive rotation, which is Flick's latest request.

As confirmed by journalist Juan Jesús, the Barcelona board is acting under the request of coach Hansi Flick, who needs an offensively oriented side-back to complement Jules Koundé's defensive role. The English club has set a transfer price of 45 million euros (35 million pounds).

Jeremie Frimpong's Situation at Liverpool

The 25-year-old defender arrived at Anfield in July 2025 and has a contract commitment until June 2030. However, despite being capped 15 times by the Netherlands, he is facing adaptation challenges in English football and is not a tactical priority for coach Andoni Iraola, leading the player to approve his move to the Catalan team.

In addition to FC Barcelona's efforts, Chelsea is also interested, gathering technical reports on the player valued at 35.00 million euros by Transfermarkt.

Hansi Flick's Tactical Fit for Enhancing the Right Wing

Hansi Flick's proposal aims to diversify the options on Barcelona's right wing. While Jules Koundé provides defensive solidity, the addition of Frimpong would ensure depth and attacking capability to increase offensive variations.

The management believes that the Dutch wing-back's willingness to move to Spain eases negotiations for a quick personal agreement.

Barcelona's Budget Viability for the Winter Window

FC Barcelona's board is evaluating the financial structure needed to meet the demanded 45 million euros from England. If the formal offer meets the required amount, the Anfield higher-ups will not hinder the player's departure to amortize his signing.

The club executives are considering proposing a loan with a mandatory purchase option to fit the deal within LaLiga's Financial Fair Play limits.

The FC Barcelona analysts will maintain contact with the player's representatives throughout November and December 2026.

If Liverpool's management agrees to the current valuation, FC Barcelona will start negotiations to secure the Dutchman's signing, as he is not in Andoni Iraola's plans.
