🚨 The wait is almost over! Liverpool are closing in on the blockbuster signing of Hugo Ekitike after reaching a deal with Eintracht Frankfurt that could be worth up to £79 million.
According to reliable reports from journalist Ben Jacobs, the two clubs have come to terms on a transfer package that includes an initial fee of £69 million, with an additional £10 million in performance-based bonuses.
Ekitike, 23, has now received the green light from Frankfurt to travel to Merseyside, with sources suggesting he’s expected to land in the UK on Tuesday to complete his medical checks ahead of a long-term move to Anfield. 🩺🖊️
🗓️ Medical and Contract Details
As per The Athletic, the French forward will undergo his medical examination on Tuesday before signing a six-year deal with Liverpool. If all goes smoothly, he’ll then board a flight to Hong Kong to join up with Arne Slot’s squad, who are currently preparing for a friendly match against AC Milan this weekend.
While the team is already in Asia, medical staff and sporting director Richard Hughes are staying behind at the AXA Training Centre to ensure the final touches of the deal are completed before Ekitike officially becomes a Red. 🔴✍️
💥 Another Power Move by the Reds
Once Ekitike’s signing is finalized, Liverpool’s spending in this transfer window will soar past the £250 million mark—a dramatic leap from last summer’s modest £10 million move for Federico Chiesa.
Football finance analyst Mo Chatra hailed the club’s approach this summer as “bold and fearless,” pointing to a major shift from the cautious transfer strategies of previous years. Many Liverpool fans will agree that the club is finally acting like champions—aggressive in ambition and unafraid to compete.
Amid the emotional backdrop of Diogo Jota’s heartbreaking passing earlier this month, the club has remained focused on strengthening the squad. The decision to go all-in for Ekitike is seen as both a tribute to the future and a necessity for maintaining dominance in both domestic and European competitions.
Last season, Ekitike racked up 22 goals and 12 assists in all competitions—figures that show exactly why Liverpool made their move.
🎯 It’s now just a matter of time before the official confirmation drops… and when it does, Liverpool’s message to rivals will be loud and clear: Catch us if you can.
