Bayer Leverkusen finds itself in a difficult position regarding Dutch-Ghanaian defender Jeremie Frimpong.

Reports suggest that Frimpong is poised to activate the exit clause in his contract, potentially bidding farewell to the Werkself.

Sport Bild has disclosed Frimpong's preference to depart Leverkusen, citing his eagerness to exploit the contract clause.

The rumoured price tag of approximately 40 million euros has captured the interest of several top clubs, including Real Madrid, Manchester City, Manchester United, Arsenal, and Bayern Munich.

However, uncertainties continue as Bayern Munich hesitates due to the unresolved coaching situation. Both the club and the player await clarity on the future coaching plans.

On the other hand, Leverkusen is engaged in a tug-of-war to retain Frimpong, recognizing his pivotal role in their successful season.

Despite the numerous speculations, Leverkusen remains optimistic about persuading Frimpong to stay, as reported by Sky.

Frimpong has played 30 games, scored nine goals, and provided seven assists in the Bundesliga this season.
