Player sold by Manchester City for just £350,000 is now valued at £70m

Manchester City sold Jeremie Frimpong to Celtic back in 2019 – and few would have foreseen his rise in European football.

The Dutchman has developed into one of Europe’s outstanding wing-backs since leaving the City Football Academy, and his current value will surely make Txiki Begiristain’s eyes water

So, what is the latest on Jeremie Frimpong for Manchester City fans to digest? Let’s take a look…

Frimpong now among Europe’s most valuable footballers

Well, Manchester City received just £350,000 from Celtic back in September 2019.

Now – according to the CIES Football Observatory – Frimpong is worth a whopping €80.6m (£69.5m) after rising to stardom with Bayer Leverkusen.
