Newcastle Transfer News LIVE: Randal Kolo Muani Link and Sesko Latest
MERSEYSIDE, ENGLAND, JUL 16 – Liverpool advance talks to sign Hugo Ekitike after Newcastle United withdraws, with the German club demanding around £100 million for the 23-year-old striker.
- On July 17, 2025, Liverpool submitted an official bid to Eintracht Frankfurt for Hugo Ekitike, but Frankfurt rejected the offer demanding a higher fee.
- Amid urgency following Jota's passing, the tragic death of Diogo Jota on July 3, 2025, intensified Liverpool’s striker hunt, and the Ekitike bid underscored their drive to retain Premier League supremacy.
- Sources say the striker has agreed personal terms and is keen on the move, having scored 22 goals with 12 assists in 48 appearances for Frankfurt last season.
- Reports indicate that Newcastle walked away and the Saudi Public Investment Fund are `unimpressed` with Liverpool’s reported ‘power play’.
- After exiting the Ekitike race, Newcastle United are set to open talks for Brentford’s Yoane Wissa, aiming to bolster their squad ahead of a Champions League campaign.
