Liverpool right-back Jeremie Frimpong has been presented to Al-Hilal as a transfer target and is open to relocating to the Saudi Pro League. The 25-year-old Netherlands international joined the Reds from Bayer Leverkusen for €40 million in summer 2025, but has struggled during his first 18 months at Anfield. Intermediaries have proposed the defender as a candidate for the Saudi club, with Frimpong willing to explore an exit despite holding a long-term contract.
Frimpong arrived at Liverpool to replace Trent Alexander-Arnold following the academy product's move to Real Madrid. His debut season yielded just 35 appearances across all competitions, including 21 Premier League games without scoring. Persistent injuries have hampered his adaptation, with the most recent setback occurring during Liverpool's 2-1 victory over Brentford on October 17, when he suffered a muscular problem after coming on at half-time.
The right-back's fitness troubles have extended to international duty, leading to his omission from Ronald Koeman's 2026 World Cup squad. Current Netherlands boss Xavi has also excluded him from recent selections. Frimpong remains sidelined ahead of Liverpool's Premier League trip to Crystal Palace this Sunday, with the forthcoming international break expected to give him recovery time as he contemplates a possible January move to Saudi Arabia.
