The deal is advancing well with Eintracht Frankfurt who were earlier discussing with Newcastle United. Player and the club didn’t have much talks with Newcastle and now they are progressing with Liverpool. LFC wanted Alexander Isak of Newcastle, but as the club isn’t showing any intention of selling him, LFC are pushing hard for Ekitike.
Liverpool have taken a major step in their search for a new striker by agreeing personal terms with Hugo Ekitike. The French forward has given his initial approval to the move, and talks between the Reds and Eintracht Frankfurt are now progressing swiftly.
Ekitike, who joined Frankfurt from Paris Saint-Germain, had previously been linked with a move to Newcastle United. However, discussions with the Premier League side did not advance significantly, and Liverpool have now jumped to the front of the queue.
The Merseyside club had initially set their sights on Newcastle’s star striker Alexander Isak, but with the Magpies unwilling to sell, Liverpool have shifted their focus entirely to Ekitike.
The 22-year-old forward is seen as a high-potential addition to Liverpool’s attacking line under new head coach Arne Slot. With personal terms already agreed, the deal now hinges on the two clubs finalizing the transfer fee and structure.
