- Reds in the market for more firepower
- French frontman lured away from 德國
- Summer of big spending at Anfield
The reigning 英超聯賽 champions have been eager to bolster their attacking ranks during a summer of big spending at Anfield. It has been decided that French frontman Ekitike is the man to provide further firepower for Arne Slot.
根據 運動員 利物浦 have reached a compromise with Eintracht when it comes to Ekitike’s valuation. The deal in question will include an initial £69m ($93m) fee, with the potential for £10m to be paid at a later date in add-ons. The German club had been holding out for a total fee of £82m ($110m).
Ekitike is now set to thrash out personal terms, with no issues expected there, before undergoing a medical and flying out to link up with his new team-mates on their pre-season tour of Asia.
A six-year contract has been lined up for the 23-year-old forward, who was linked with Newcastle when Liverpool were said to be exploring the possibility of prising Alexander Isak away from St James’ Park.
Liverpool have already splashed the cash in 2025 on Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez. Ekitike joins those ranks after hitting 22 goals and registering 12 assists for Eintracht last season.
