šØ BREAKING: Liverpool Reach Agreement to Sign Hugo Ekitike in ā¬95M Deal
Liverpool have struck a deal to sign French striker Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt, with the total package reportedly worth up to ā¬95 million, including performance-related add-ons. The agreement, finalized after extended negotiations, has been confirmed by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
Ekitike will join Liverpool on a six-year contract running until June 2031, signaling the clubās long-term commitment to the 22-year-old forward.
Despite interest from multiple top European clubs, Ekitike had his sights set firmly on Anfield. According to Romano, the player made it clear from the beginning that Liverpool was his only desired destination.
The Frenchman is expected to bolster Liverpoolās attacking options following the departures of Darwin Núñez and other key forwards this summer. Known for his pace, sharp movement, and composure in front of goal, Ekitike is seen as a central piece in the Redsā new-look forward line under Arne Slot.
Official confirmation from the clubs is expected soon, but all parties now consider the deal done. ā
