Liverpool officially presented on Hugo Ekitike (23), the striker brought from Eintracht Frankfurt in exchange for the amount of 91 million euros.
The premier League champion has thus checked the fourth important transfer this summer. Under the command of Arne Slot have already arrived Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong, from Bayer Leverkusen, and Milos Kerkez, from Bournemouth.
Liverpool officially presented on Hugo Ekitike
“We have reached an agreement for the transfer of Eintracht Frankfurt, Hugo Ekitike. Hugo is about to fly to Hong Kong to meet with his new teammates,” the “Cormorants” statement said.
Ekitike scored 15 goals in 33 matches in the previous season in the Bundesliga. Even with bonuses, the transfer amount exceeds a little terminal of 95 million euros.
It is one of the most important sales in the history of the team in Frankfurt, the last of a remarkable series. In recent years, “Vultures” have also received 95 million for Randal Kolo Muani (PSG), 75 for Omar Marmoush (Manchester City), 63 for Luka Jovic (Real Madrid) and 50 for Sebastien Haller (West Ham).
Liverpool was looking for a striker after Diogo Jota died following a road accident. Arne Slot still has Darwin Nunez, but his departure from Anfield is very likely this summer.
Liverpool's main “target” for the striker position was Alexander Isak, but Newcastle did not want to give up the Swedish striker, for whom the “cormorants” were willing to pay over 120 million pounds.
Thus, Liverpool was reoriented to Hugo Ekitike, who scored 22 goals and offered 12 decisive passes in 48 matches in the previous season, in all competitions.
The French striker was bought in the summer of 2024 from PSG for the amount of 16.5 million euros.
