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

MERSEYSIDE, ENGLAND, JUL 19 – Liverpool aims to finalize a club-record deal for Hugo Ekitike, who scored 22 goals and provided 12 assists last season, as they seek to replace Darwin Nunez this summer.

  • Eintracht Frankfurt is set to transfer 23-year-old striker Hugo Ekitike to Liverpool, with negotiations ongoing in July 2025.
  • This deal follows Liverpool's previously rejected £69.4 million offer and Frankfurt holding out for around £86 million, a figure above their last record sale in 2023.
  • Ekitike, who joined Frankfurt last year on loan before a permanent move, scored 15 goals in 31 appearances and was absent from a recent pre-season friendly amid the transfer talks.
  • Frankfurt’s coach Dino Toppmoller called Ekitike’s imminent exit “a bitter loss” and hinted the player's exclusion related to the transfer, while personal terms have already been agreed with Liverpool.
  • The transfer would give Frankfurt a substantial financial gain and could increase the likelihood of Darwin Nunez and Federico Chiesa departing Liverpool as the club finalizes its summer signings.
