| Hansi Flick's Call Rejected as Jeremy Frimpong Prioritizes Playing with Mbappe and Vinicius at Real Madrid |
Barcelona’s coach is on the lookout for fresh talent to strengthen the squad in upcoming seasons, with a particular target who could also catch Real Madrid's attention in future transfer windows. However, Barcelona’s ongoing financial struggles are proving to be a major obstacle in securing big signings, a challenge that was evident in the most recent transfer window. Meanwhile, Real Madrid continues to thrive, both on and off the pitch.
According to Spanish outlet *Defensa Central*, Bayer Leverkusen's right-back, Jeremy Frimpong, has caught the eye of Hansi Flick, who is keen on bringing him into his squad. While Frimpong is admired at Real Madrid, concerns have been raised about his defensive skills, as his primary role is that of a wing-back, making him less experienced in a traditional back-four system. The report also highlights that Frimpong has already communicated to Barcelona his desire to join Real Madrid, with the hope of playing alongside Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe, two key figures in Madrid’s ambitious project.
This comes as a blow to Barcelona, but they recognize that Real Madrid’s current project is highly attractive to top players. Despite this setback, Barcelona remains determined to pursue Frimpong and will continue efforts to convince him to join their ranks. Additionally, they are aware that Real Madrid is also monitoring the situation of Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Having both Vinicius and Mbappé on the same team presents immense attacking potential, and while their partnership is still developing, any player would relish the opportunity to play with them.
Frimpong’s desire to join Real Madrid stems from his long-standing admiration for the club, making it understandable why he would prioritize a move to the Bernabeu.
