Bayer Leverkusen finds itself in a challenging situation as talented right-back Jeremie Frimpong appears poised to activate the exit clause in his contract, potentially departing the club.

Reports indicate Frimpong's inclination to exploit the exit clause, prompting interest from elite clubs including Real Madrid, Manchester City, Manchester United, Arsenal, and Bayern Munich, with an estimated price tag of around 40 million euros.

However, uncertainties loom as Bayern Munich hesitates, possibly due to unresolved coaching matters, leaving both club and player awaiting clarity on future plans.

Leverkusen is in a battle to retain Frimpong, recognizing his instrumental role in their successful season.

Despite swirling speculations, Leverkusen remains hopeful of convincing Frimpong to stay, according to reports from Sky.

The Dutch-Ghanaian defender has been a key contributor to Leverkusen's campaign, featuring in 30 games, netting nine goals, and providing seven assists in their triumphant Bundesliga season.
