French striker Hugo Ekitike, who had an outstanding 2024-2025 season at Frankfurt, has reached an agreement with Liverpool to join the club this summer. The Reds are in negotiations with the German club over the transfer fee.
Currently, Hugo Ekitike has agreed a six-year contract with Liverpool, the defending English champions. The Reds' management has even started negotiations with Frankfurt in an attempt to complete the transfer and strengthen their attacking department.
This could be an expensive transfer, potentially the most costly in Frankfurt's history. If the Germans "only" paid €16.5 million to secure Ekitike's services in the summer of 2024, the German club has no intention of selling him this summer and hopes to get around €90 million for their striker.
The 23-year-old Hugo Ekitike, who scored 22 goals in 48 appearances for Frankfurt last season, has seen his value soar in recent months. This summer, many clubs interested in the French striker have come calling. In the past 24 hours, Manchester United tried to enter the race, but the Frenchman rejected the approach. He also won't be going to Newcastle, as he only wants to join the Reds.
