ENGLAND, JUL 23 – Liverpool secured Hugo Ekitike for an initial £69 million plus £10 million in add-ons, making him the club's third most expensive signing amid a summer spending spree.

  • Completing his medical in London, Hugo Ekitike was signed by Liverpool FC on Tuesday in a deal worth £79m.
  • Following a rejected £70m approach by Newcastle United, Liverpool FC moved swiftly to secure Ekitike's transfer to Anfield.
  • With summer spending near £300m, an initial £69m fee with £10m in add-ons brings Liverpool FC's summer expenditure close to £300m.
  • Having secured his medical and personal terms, Hugo Ekitike will fly to Hong Kong to join Liverpool FC's pre-season tour later this week.
  • Ahead of the season, a friendly against Yokohama F. Marinos in Japan on July 30 could serve as Ekitike's informal debut for the 2025 J. League World Challenge.
