The transfer window just got explosive—and Hugo Ekitike is at the center of the storm.
In fiery remarks from Eintracht Frankfurt’s owner, it’s been revealed that the French striker has made a firm decision: he’s leaving the Bundesliga, and his sole destination is Liverpool.
“As soon as he heard Liverpool were interested, his mind was made up,” the Frankfurt chief declared during a tense press conference.
“He’s not staying. He’s told us clearly—he’s joining Liverpool. It’s no longer a question of ‘if’, but ‘when.’”
However, Frankfurt isn’t letting him go without a fight. The German side has issued a strong message to Liverpool: no cut-price deal will be accepted.
“If they want him, they’ll have to pay full value. No discounts, no negotiations. Liverpool will have to dig deep for this one,” the club’s owner warned.
At just 22, Ekitike is seen as one of France’s brightest attacking talents, combining speed, creativity, and clinical finishing.
His performances in Germany have only added to the hype, especially amid growing doubts over Darwin Nunez’s consistency at Liverpool.
Fans are already buzzing. One supporter wrote: “This is the striker we’ve been waiting for! ❤️ Time to move on from Nunez.”
With personal terms nearly agreed, the last hurdle is the transfer fee—believed to be upwards of £50 million, with Frankfurt refusing to budge.
Ekitike wants the move. Liverpool want the player. Now it all comes down to the money.
