Liverpool fans are on the edge of their seats as the summer transfer window inches towards its grand finale. With three significant signings already under their belt, the anticipation is building for more game-changing acquisitions.

While Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez, and Florian Wirtz are fantastic additions to the squad, Liverpool's recruitment team, led by Arne Slot and Richard Hughes, isn't finished yet. A new striker is still high on their agenda, with Alexander Isak, Victor Osimhen, and Hugo Ekitike being hot topics of conversation.

After an impressive season with Eintracht Frankfurt, Ekitike has surged onto many clubs’ radars, but the price tag is hefty—reportedly around £86 million. However, a surprising twist could grant Liverpool a chance to snag him at a discount.

Potential Discount on Ekitike?

With 21 goals to his name last season, Ekitike is undeniably one of the hottest strikers in Europe. According to insights from Give Me Sport, Liverpool has been gifted a ‘golden opportunity.’ Major rivals like Manchester United, Arsenal, and Chelsea appear hesitant to engage in a bidding war for the Frenchman, which could clear a path for Liverpool to secure him.

That said, Eintracht Frankfurt remains adamant about their £86 million asking price. However, whispers in the transfer market suggest there might be room for negotiation as the deadline approaches. Eintracht is reportedly keen to finalize Ekitike’s future soon, but a discount could surface in the final weeks of the window—conditional, of course, on Eintracht’s terms.

Negotiations on the Horizon?

Interestingly, Liverpool is reportedly gearing up to initiate talks with Eintracht about Ekitike. The catch? They need to offload Darwin Nunez before making a move for the French star.

While there's optimism surrounding Ekitike's potential, it is questionable whether Liverpool will agree to near £90 million, given the past investment in Nunez. With that in mind, the Reds might wisely choose to bide their time, hoping that a discount opportunity will present itself.

As the summer transfer window heats up, all eyes will be on Liverpool to see if they can pull off this last-minute deal for a striker who could change the course of their season!
