Liverpool Eyeing Eintracht Frankfurt's Rising Star

Liverpool is eyeing the situation of Eintracht Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike as they gear up for an electrifying summer transfer window, according to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano.

A Potential Replacement for Nunez?

The Reds are reportedly interested in the talented 22-year-old forward as a possible successor to Darwin Nunez, who has drawn attention from Atletico Madrid. However, there are currently no major developments regarding Liverpool's chase for the Frenchman.

Focus on Other Targets First

Before diving deeper into negotiations for Ekitike, Liverpool is prioritizing agreements for other players, including Jeremie Frimpong, Florian Wirtz, and Milos Kerkez. Agreements with Wirtz and Kerkez are said to be nearing completion, while Frimpong’s signing may be officially announced within days.

Romano's Insights on Ekitike's Situation

In a recent update on his YouTube channel, Romano stated that both Liverpool and Chelsea have made inquiries regarding Ekitike's status at Frankfurt. He mentioned, "I told you that the Ekitike deal will not see significant changes this week. Next week, we should have a clearer picture." He confirmed that both clubs are actively monitoring his situation.

A Hot Commodity in England

After an impressive season in the Bundesliga, where Ekitike netted 15 goals and provided eight assists in just 33 appearances, it's no wonder the 22-year-old has become a hot commodity in the English Premier League. He joined Frankfurt from Paris Saint-Germain for a fee of around €16.5 million nearly a year ago.

Frankfurt's High Price Tag

With a stellar season under his belt, Frankfurt is eyeing a substantial profit on Ekitike, reportedly asking for around €100 million (£84 million). If a deal materializes at that price, Ekitike would rank among Frankfurt's three most expensive exits in history, alongside stars like Randal Kolo Muani and Omar Marmoush.
