Jeremie Frimpong transfer decision 'made' as Celtic braced for major windfall if Leverkusen star gets his wish

Jeremie Frimpong is reportedly 'keen' to join Manchester United over the likes of Bayern Munich and Barcelona.

The former Celtic defender is in the crosshairs of some of Europe's heavyweights amid a stellar season for Bayer Leverkusen. Having nailed down the starting spot as the Bundesliga club's right wing-back under Xabi Alonso, he has eight goals and nine assists in all competitions and looks set for a mega move come the summer.

According to widespread reports in Europe, Celtic will take home 30 per cent of the profit on the £11.5million deal that took him to Germany and with Leverkusen said to be holding out for something between £40m-50m, that is set to mean a major payday for Ange Postecoglou's team. It doesn't seem to be a question of if Frimpong leaves at this stage, but when and where to, with United, Barcelona and Bayern all lining up bids to pry him away.
