Not only Frimpong, but other players are currently under the radar of European giants. We know Real Madrid wants Wirtz. They will have difficulty keeping other players, but with the influence of Xabi, other players may postpone their move to big teams for 1 year. If they have Leverkusen players for one more year, they will continue to claim the championship next year. Next year will be more critical for Xabi.
After Leverkusen was able to achieve quite great achievements this season, of course many big teams began to try to recruit some of the main players owned by Leverkusen at the moment, previously news circulated that Florian Wirtz had made a verbal agreement with Madrid, so it is likely that one by one their mainstay players will leave Leverkusen next season, In addition to Florian Wirtz who is indeed projected as a replacement for Kross in Madrid, of course currently Jonathan Tah has reportedly also reached an agreement with Bayern Munich so it seems that it will be difficult for Leverkusen to be able to repeat the achievements they have achieved this season in next seasons.
Reportedly, currently Barcelona is also starting to target Jeremie Frimpong to be recruited next season, Hansi Flick is of course trying to rebuild their squad to compete next season, especially now that Barcelona is reportedly experiencing a defender crisis after Van Dijk suffered an injury at this time when he was with the Netherlands and reportedly needs a very long process to heal, so inevitably Barcelona must be able to keep their squad stable.
I still really don't understand why Real Madrid always want all the key players from successful teams, maybe Real Madrid is too greedy. After all, Florian Wirtz plays as an attacking midfielder and if Real Madrid do sign Florian Wirtz, then maybe the competition to get into the starting eleven will also be more difficult because Real Madrid have many great players for that position. But apart from that, I hope that next season the Europa League will still have great appeal. Because at least, big teams like Tottenham, Manchester United, AS Roma and Lyon and maybe also several other teams can make the competition competitive in the race for the Europa League trophy next season. But for me personally, considering Lyon managed to end the season impressively, then I hope that Lyon next season will be able to surprise too, especially in the Europa League, who knows.
