Although it seems clear that Barcelona are prioritizing a new defensive midfielder and left winger in the summer transfer window, they are also looking at other options. One of those is Jeremie Frimpong, who is highly regarded by new manager Hansi Flick.

Various sources confirm Barcelona's interest in signing Frimpong, although it will not be easy to reward him away from Bayer Leverkusen. As reported by Sport, the newly crowned Bundesliga champions will not negotiate with any club regarding the Dutch international. It means the Catalans would need to pay his €40m release clause to do a deal.
Barcelona may need a new right this summer, especially if Joao Cancelo cannot be re-signed on loan from Manchester City. Jules Kounde is currently the first choice here, although he is naturally a central defender – Flick can see him as next season, which could be the reason for his interest in Frimpong.
