Liverpool are reportedly preparing to enter talks for a potential transfer of Eintracht Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike, a highly promising French forward who impressed in the previous season with 22 goals and 11 assists in 47 games across all competitions. This move appears aligned with Liverpool possibly planning to sell Darwin Núñez this summer, thereby creating a need for fresh attacking options. Ekitike’s profile fits the bill as an ideal addition to bolster their frontline[1].

Adding Ekitike would signify a major statement by Liverpool, complementing their recent signings including Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez, and Giorgi Mamardashvili, as the club seeks to build on their prior Premier League title success under manager Arne Slot[1].

The French striker is also a subject of interest from other Premier League clubs, with Manchester United having made contact with Ekitike and his representatives, reportedly considering a player-plus-cash deal to accelerate a transfer. Newcastle United, who previously tried twice to sign him, remain keen and see him as a valuable complement to Alexander Isak. Despite the high €100 million asking price set by Frankfurt, various clubs are exploring options including instalments or bonus-supported offers[3].



However, Liverpool's pursuit depends largely on offloading Núñez to raise funds, which has caused their interest to cool slightly. Moreover, Saudi clubs like Al Hilal and Al Qadisiyah have prepared bids for Ekitike, but the player prioritizes staying in Europe[3].



In summary, Ekitike is poised for a Premier League move this summer, with Liverpool among the front-runners but facing strong competition from Manchester United and Newcastle. The final destination may hinge on Liverpool’s ability to balance their squad and finances, with the highly-rated striker’s Premier League arrival likely imminent for the 2025/26 season[2][3].
