Celtic could benefit from a cash boost this summer if Jeremie Frimpong leaves Bayer Leverkusen.

Fabrizio Romano reports the Dutch international is on Liverpool's list of targets to replace Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Frimpong has been a success at Leverkusen, winning both the Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal since joining from Celtic in 2021.

However, he could leave this summer, with a €35/€40 million release clause in his contract.

If he departs, Celtic would be due 30 per cent of the profit made on the right-back, which could amount to millions, according to Romano.

Frimpong is reportedly keen on a move to Anfield, with fellow countryman Arne Slot guiding the Reds to the Premier League title last season.

Elsewhere, former Celtic target Danny Ings will be a free agent this summer.

The striker was linked with a move to Parkhead late in the January transfer window, with the Hoops reportedly in the 'race' to sign him, along with Everton, Southampton, and Leeds United.

However, the 32-year-old remained at West Ham United for the rest of the 2024/25 season.

His contract won't be renewed by David Moyes and the Hammers going into the 2025/26 campaign.

Ings will therefore be a free agent and on the lookout for a new club.

His experience and goal-scoring ability could be an asset to any club looking to bolster their attacking options.
