Jeremie Frimpong reveals Celtic transfer cold feet as Real Madrid target shares unbreakable bond with Neil Lennon

Jeremie Frimpong admits he got cold feet before joining Celtic but will never forget his 'father and son' bond with Neil Lennon.

The former Manchester City star was signed in a coup deal for Celtic for just £350,000 in September 2019 from the Etihad, as he penned a four-year contract but would only end up spending 18 months in Glasgow. Frimpong was immensely popular during his time at Parkhead and left with a Treble under ex-boss Lennon. Bayer Leverkusen soon swooped in and offered the Scottish champions a handsome £12million for the defender's services.

Now the Dutchman could be heading to giants Manchester United or Real Madrid in the summer with a hefty price tag of £35million plus being set as the bar by the Bundesliga side for bidding. That could land Brendan Rodgers new side up to £6m should the 22-year-old go for a fee more than £40m.
