The Bundesliga champion 2023/24 has signed a five-year contract and becomes Arne Slots’s first signing of the summer.
Slot moved quickly to find a replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold, who will leave the club this summer.
Alexander-Arnold, who should leave a free transmission, will join Real Madrid at a fee of 10 million GBP to play at the World Club Championship.
The Dutch defender Frimpong was one of the best players in Leverkusen in the Xabi Alonso era.
In the last two seasons he has scored 38 destinations (19 goals, 19 templates).
The 24-year-old will probably take the shirt 30 in Liverpool, the same number he wore in Leverkusen.
The last person who was wearing was the former graduate of the Suso Academy.
Frimpong pressed his joy to seal the switch and said: “It was pretty easy.
“Liverpool came and said they were interested, and obviously it was child’s play for me.
“For me it was like ‘whatever you do, just let it do it’ [speaking to] My agents: “just more affected.”

“Well, I have always heard good things about the coach. Now he will be my trainer, so I’m looking forward to it.”
