Liverpool Close In on Record-Breaking €90m Hugo Ekitike Transfer from Eintracht Frankfurt

Liverpool Football Club is on the verge of securing a transformative deal for Eintracht Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike, with a new bid worth up to €90m submitted to the Bundesliga club. The proposed package includes add-ons, marking a potential club-record sale for Frankfurt and a bold statement from Liverpool in the transfer market. The 23-year-old French forward has already agreed to a six-year contract with the Reds, signaling long-term confidence in his abilities.

Ekitike’s standout 2024/25 season, where he netted 22 goals in 48 appearances, helped Frankfurt secure a Champions League spot. His versatility and pace, honed during a formative loan spell at PSG, have caught Liverpool’s eye as they seek to bolster their attacking options. The move follows failed negotiations for Newcastle’s Alexander Isak, highlighting a strategic pivot toward the young Frenchman.Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed the deal is in its final stages, with details being structured between the clubs. This acquisition, potentially exceeding Frankfurt’s previous €95m record, underscores Liverpool’s ambition to compete at the highest level. Official confirmation is expected within days, setting the stage for Ekitike’s Premier League debut.
