He's the player that constantly seems to be linked with a transfer.

Jeremie Frimpong has kicked on since leaving Celtic to develop into one of the best right-backs in the world.

The 23-year-old made just 51 appearances for the Scottish Premiership champions during his 18-month stint in Glasgow.

After telling Neil Lennon he wanted to leave, Bayer Leverkusen was his next destination in January 2021, as the Bundesliga side forked out a little over £11m for his services. 

The Dutch international become a German champion under Xabi Alonso last season, as Leverkusen went the full season unbeaten.

The likes of Manchester United and Arsenal have been linked with the lightning quick full-back in recent transfer windows.

Now, it's Real Madrid who are the latest to be linked with Frimpong.

According to The Athletic, the European champions are big admirers of the ex-Hoops star.

Alongside others, such as Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold and Tottenham's Pedro Porro, he's been tipped as one of five possible replacements for Los Blancos and Spain hero Dani Carvajal.

It's said that the young Dutchman is keen on the idea of plying his trade in La Liga.

Frimpong's Leverkusen release clause stands at €40m. However, not all of that fee would be pocketed by the German giants.

That's because, as has been very well documented, Celtic hold a 15 percent sell-on clause as part of their agreement with Leverkusen.

So, should Real or any other team trigger the release clause, then Celtic would rake in around £3.3m, while the rest would belong to Leverkusen - who would still make a very tidy profit on their initial outlay on the player.
