Frimpong Offered to Al‑Hilal as January Exit Talk Intensifies

Conflicting reports leave Liverpool and Al‑Hilal undecided on a possible January move that will depend on his fitness, Liverpool's valuation, Liverpool's squad decisions

Overview

  • Reports on Saturday said intermediaries put Jeremie Frimpong forward to Al‑Hilal and that the 25‑year‑old is open to leaving Liverpool in January.
  • A source close to Al‑Hilal told Kooora the club is not currently pursuing Frimpong and that manager Simone Inzaghi prefers to prioritise centre‑back and midfield signings.
  • Frimpong has struggled at Liverpool since his summer 2025 arrival from Bayer Leverkusen, with repeated muscular injuries limiting his starts and form.
  • His absence from recent Netherlands squads, including the 2026 World Cup, has compounded transfer talk and weakened his standing in Liverpool's right‑back pecking order.
  • Any move would require Liverpool to negotiate a sale while Frimpong remains under contract until 2030, and the club’s decision will hinge on his recovery, valuation and competition from players like Ronald Araujo and Conor Bradley.
