Al-Hilal offered Frimpong, says report

Jeremie Frimpong joined Liverpool from Bayer Leverkusen for around £29.5 million in 2025. The 25‑year‑old Netherlands international has been at Anfield for just 18 months, yet his future at Liverpool has suddenly become uncertain. Reports say he is reportedly open to a move to the Saudi Pro League, with interest emerging ahead of the January transfer window.

Offer to Al‑Hilal emerges

Intermediaries have offered Frimpong to Saudi giants Al‑Hilal, The report claims he would be willing to discuss a Saudi Arabia move that could restore regular starts after an inconsistent spell in England. No formal negotiations between Liverpool and Al‑Hilal have been confirmed. Frimpong remains receptive to a January departure, with agents approaching Al‑Hilal on his behalf.

Injuries and competition at right‑back have prevented him from becoming an undisputed starter on Merseyside. Liverpool could need another right‑back if he leaves, given his struggle to consistently establish himself. Club officials are advised not to rush a January sale. A source close to Al‑Hilal told Kooora that the Saudi club does not currently prioritise Frimpong, with manager Simone Inzaghi focusing on centre‑back and midfield reinforcements.

Being offered to a club differs from that club actively pursuing a transfer. Liverpool have little reason to force an exit while Frimpong is contracted until 2030 and still provides elite pace when fit. Recent injury problems have disrupted his rhythm, and selling after only 18 months could be premature. There is debate over whether he fits Liverpool’s long‑term defensive plans.

Unless Al‑Hilal or another club make a significant offer, giving him more time appears the sensible approach. Liverpool are considering defensive changes as summer signings struggle to find form.
