Eintracht Frankfurt Head Coach Breaks Silence on Hugo Ekitike in Liverpool Transfer Hint - Liverpool Echo

MERSEYSIDE, ENGLAND, JUL 19 – Liverpool agreed an £82 million deal with Eintracht Frankfurt for Hugo Ekitike, who scored 22 goals last season, signing a six-year contract to boost their Premier League title defense.

  • As of July 20, 2025, Liverpool are close to finalizing a transfer for 23-year-old French forward Hugo Ekitike, currently playing in the Bundesliga with Eintracht Frankfurt.
  • Ekitike's potential move follows the rejection of Newcastle's £80 million offer and ongoing negotiations, with Liverpool having reached personal terms with the player.
  • Ekitike, who joined Frankfurt last year from Paris Saint-Germain, scored 15 goals in 31 games and was absent from Frankfurt’s pre-season friendly on Saturday, indicating his transfer progress.
  • Frankfurt head coach Dino Toppmoller called Ekitike's imminent exit a "bitter loss" and the club is holding out for around £86 million, a record sale surpassing the £82.3 million received for Randal Kolo Muani in 2023.
  • The transfer would give Frankfurt a significant financial boost while Liverpool plan to finalize the deal soon amid efforts to strengthen their attack with Ekitike as their latest signing target.
