The 26-year-old has reportedly reached a verbal agreement to join Real Madrid on a free transfer.

During a recent 2-2 draw against Arsenal, some fans voiced their frustration by booing the defender.
In response, Mohamed Salah came to his teammate’s defense, criticizing the negative reception and reminding fans of the club’s values.
He encouraged a respectful send-off for the homegrown star, who has spent over two decades with the club.
What This Means for Liverpool
With Frimpong’s pace, technical ability, and attacking prowess from the right flank, Liverpool is signaling a tactical evolution.
The Dutch defender is expected to bring a fresh dynamic to the Reds’ backline as they aim to build on their Premier League-winning momentum.
