Liverpool Eye €80m Hugo Ekitike Move, But FSG Must Dig Deep to Secure Striker

The signing of Eintracht Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike reportedly interests Liverpool but FSG owners must invest heavily to complete the deal.

Football manager Arne Slot will lead a significant summer shopping spree because he now gets to spend a full year in charge before evaluating the team’s assets and deficits which resulted from Jurgen Klopp’s departure.

The squad acquisition strategy from Slot this season came cautiously through the single arrival of Federico Chiesa during the season.

The team, under new leadership, achieved remarkable success by reaching the round of 16 in the Champions League and the Carabao Cup final and staying on top of the Premier League standings.

Hugo Ekitike Will Be A Useful Addition To Liverpool

Manager Arne Slot recognizes the necessity of acquiring more firepower for the team despite the exceptional abilities of forward Mohamed Salah, who scored 47 goals and provided assists.

When Salah faces heavy defensive pressure during matches a goal-scorer who can score at least twenty league goals would offer ideal support to the team.

European football watches Hugo Ekitike the rising forward sensation who shows great promise in his early years.

Recent magazine Bild stated through Foot Mercato that several top clubs now show significant interest in the productive winger Hugo Ekitike who plays for Eintracht Frankfurt.

Ekitike has made a prominent impact this season by scoring 17 goals and providing six assists, together with a Bundesliga rate of scoring once every 134 minutes that sparks interest among European clubs.

According to reports Frankfurt plans to sell their star asset for about €80 million because they recognize his market value at £66 million.

A unique aspect of this deal gives PSG 20% of any future club’s profit when Ekitike is sold, and the value amounts to approximately €25 million.

Liverpool and Arsenal share a strong interest in Luka Jovic, which may spark an intense bidding competition because the Premier League title battle intensifies their interest.

If Nunez leaves in the future the acquisition of Ekitike would establish an appropriate replacement. The expenditures exceeding £100 million by FSG to acquire Alexander Isak could lead to an enhanced attack for Liverpool.
