By purchasing players at a discount and reselling them for significant profits, Celtic has made millions in the transfer market in recent years. Without selling a single player, they might now be poised to secure yet another significant profit. As an illustration of Celtic’s recent success in recruiting, Matt O’Riley, who cost £1.5 million to sign from MK Dons in January 2022, was sold to Brighton for an incredible £26 million during the summer transfer window.
While Jota and Kieran Tierney sold for comparable sums, the club has made much more money from players like Liel Abada, Josip Juranovic, Odsonne Edouard, and Kristoffer Ajer than they did from their original acquisition price.
Jeremie Frimpong is another player to add to the list. In 2019, the Dutch right-back paid £350,000 to join Celtic from Manchester City. After being moved to Bayer Leverkusen in January 2021 for an estimated £11.5 million, he went on to win the Bundesliga title and establish himself as a full-fledged Netherlands international.
Some of the biggest clubs in Europe have expressed interest in the 23-year-old because to his impressive play in Germany; Manchester City, Real Madrid, and Liverpool have all been mentioned as possible destinations. According to the Daily Mail, Liverpool has placed Frimpong at the top of their list of possible replacements for Trent Alexander-Arnold, who is expected to leave the team when his contract expires at the end of the current campaign, raising the possibility of a move to Anfield this week.
