Liverpool have submitted a €90 million (£78m/$105m) bid to Eintracht Frankfurt for French striker Hugo Ekitike. Sky Sports have revealed that an agreement in principle has been established between Liverpool and Eintracht Frankfurt, laying the groundwork for what could soon become one of the most significant deals of the summer.
- Liverpool are determined to get Ekitike
- Have submitted a €90 million bid to Frankfurt
- Could surpass Kolo Muani's transfer fee of €95m
WHAT HAPPENED?
Should all performance-related clauses included in the deal be fulfilled, Eintracht Frankfurt are anticipating a historic payout. If completed as proposed, the Ekitike sale would eclipse the club’s current record departure, the €95m (£82.3m, $110.5m) received from Paris Saint-Germain for Randal Kolo Muani in 2023, as reported by The Athletic.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Ekitike is reportedly enthusiastic about the opportunity to join the Premier League, and among the potential destinations, Liverpool stands out as his preferred choice. Earlier this week, Newcastle United made an attempt to land the striker, but their bid was turned down by Frankfurt. The Frenchman has since set his sights on Merseyside, seeing the reigning English champions as the ideal platform to elevate his career.
DID YOU KNOW?
Securing a striker has been one of Liverpool's top priorities in this transfer window, particularly in the wake of the untimely death of Diogo Jota, which has cast a shadow over the club’s summer plans. With midfield additions like Florian Wirtz, right-back Jeremie Frimpong, and left-back Milos Kerkez already secured, attention has turned firmly toward the attacking third.
WHAT NEXT FOR LIVERPOOL?
Liverpool are open to offers for Uruguayan striker Darwin Nunez, whose inconsistency has left Arne Slot unimpressed. Colombian winger Luis Díaz has made it known he wishes to explore a move elsewhere. With Bayern Munich and Barcelona both circling, the club is preparing for the possibility of his exit. These potential departures have further accelerated the push for Ekitike, ensuring the Reds remain on top in England and Europe.
