Liverpool completes the acquisition of Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt after the French forward finished medical tests on Monday. The 23-year-old striker will join the Reds through a transfer valued at 90 million euros when performance bonuses are added. His new contract binds him to Anfield until 2031. Ekitike brings impressive statistics from his Frankfurt tenure, netting 26 times while creating 14 assists across 64 appearances. The club views this signing as essential preparation for the upcoming campaign.
Manager Jurgen Klopp seeks additional reinforcements despite securing Ekitike's services. Journalist Ben Jacobs reports that Liverpool prioritizes another forward acquisition before the transfer window closes. Colombian winger Luis Diaz may depart for Bayern Munich, creating further need for attacking depth. The club also targets defensive additions to strengthen their backline. These moves reflect Liverpool's ambition to compete across multiple competitions during the new season.
