Liverpool Reach Agreement with Hugo Ekitike on Six-Year Deal β Reports
In a major development on the transfer front, Liverpool have reportedly reached an agreement with French striker Hugo Ekitike over a long-term contract that would see him commit to Anfield until 2031.
According to multiple sources, the deal is for six years, with personal terms already agreed between the player and the club π€ποΈ. All that remains is for Liverpool to finalize terms with Eintracht Frankfurt, where Ekitike impressed during a short loan spell after struggling for minutes at Paris Saint-Germain.
The 22-year-old has long been on Liverpoolβs radar as part of a broader push to rejuvenate their attacking line under new manager Arne Slot. Ekitikeβs blend of pace, technical skill, and versatility has drawn comparisons to a young Thierry Henry, and the Reds believe he could thrive in the Premier League.
Sources say Slot played a direct role in persuading Ekitike to join, outlining a vision where the forward would play a central role in Liverpoolβs next chapter.
Negotiations with Frankfurt are reportedly ongoing, with the German club seeking a fee in the region of β¬40β45 million, though Liverpool are confident a compromise can be reached.
If completed, the move would mark one of Liverpoolβs marquee signings of the summerβand signal their intent to invest in future firepower as they transition away from the era of Salah, Firmino, and ManΓ©.
