Manchester City could throw a spanner in the works for Liverpool this summer if Kyle Walker departs.

The Citizens have often proved to be a thorn in Liverp꧅ool’s side over the years, pipping the Reds to several Premier League titles, and Pep Guardiola could now snatch a transfer target from Arne Slot.

So, what is the situation involving Manchester City and Liverpool? Let’s take a look…

Manchester City want Liverpool target Jeremie Frimpong if Kyle Walker departs

A story from now claims that Manchester City will make a move to sign Bayer Leverkusen No.30 Jeremie Frimpong if Walker leaves the Etihad Stadium this summer.

The England inter🌄nationജal’s future with the Citizens is uncertain.

It comes after claimed that Liverpool are in talks with sign Frimpong, as Slot aims to im🎶prove his options down the right flank.

The German news outlet believe Bayer Leverkusen want €40m (£33.6m) to sell the Netherlands international this summer after his outstanding 202⛎3/24 campaign.

Frimpong helped Xabi Alonso win a Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal double by remarkably scoring 14 goals and also provided 12 assists in 4♒7 appearances, mainly from a right wing-back role.

Manchester City actually sold the Dutchman to Celtic back in 2019⭕ for a sum of just £300,000, before the 23-year-old joined Bayer Leverkusen in January 2021 and made a name for himself in Europe.

Dutchman could elevate Liverpool to a new level

If Walker stays at the Etihad Stadium and Liverpool get a free run at signing Frimpong, his talents could🐽 take the Reds up a gear.

The man from Amsterdam is like a Duracell Bunny down ♓that right flank with his boundless energy and constant overlaps, which would presumably help fre꧅e up space for Mohamed Salah to cause even more havoc than he usually does.

Deploying Frimpong as a marauding right-back could also see Slot use Trent Alexander-Arnold in the central role he thrived in under Jurgen Klopp, where the England international’s immense passing ability could put Salah and the Dutchman into fant🎐astic attacking positions.
