As well as defence, the striker position also looks set to be revamped as Liverpool’s links with Hugo Ekitike refuse to go away.

Liverpool have made no contact with Frankfurt as of yet, but they could soon be sprung into action following a twist in the Ekitike saga.

According to Florian Plettenberg on X, Premier League rivals Man United have made contact with the attacker’s camp over the weekend and have expressed ‘concrete’ interest.

Whilst no deal is yet to be struck, the Red Devils are in contact with both club and player, leaving Liverpool’s chances of signing the Frenchman hanging in the balance.

The Reds, as well as Chelsea, are both reportedly still in the race, but the ball is now in FSG’s court.

With defensive reinforcements and an attacking midfielder already through the door, many see a striker as the final piece in the puzzle for Liverpool.
