Chelsea Make Bold Move for Hugo Ekitike While Reds Focus on Wirtz 👎
Just when Liverpool fans thought the summer window was taking shape, a shocking twist has emerged — and it’s not in their favor.
🔵 Chelsea have officially ramped up their pursuit of Hugo Ekitike, the highly-rated French striker. With direct contacts now established, the Blues are accelerating talks to land the 22-year-old forward as a long-term attacking reinforcement.
🔴 Meanwhile, Liverpool remain heavily focused on finalizing their mega deal for Florian Wirtz, and as a result, have not responded with urgency regarding Ekitike — a player once considered a potential heir to their forward line.
💥 Fans are furious, worried that by focusing solely on Wirtz, the club could be missing out on valuable attacking depth, especially with the uncertainty surrounding Darwin Núñez and others in the squad.
📉 One Liverpool supporter summed it up best:
“This is the last thing we wanted. Letting Chelsea grab Ekitike uncontested feels like a massive misstep!”
⚠️ With Chelsea moving fast, Liverpool may need to act now — or risk seeing yet another top talent slip away to a Premier L
eague rival.
