Frankfurt’s Ekitiké Heading to Liverpool for €95 MillionFrankfurt, 20 Jul (ONA) — Eintracht Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitiké is set to
join Liverpool in another big-money transfer, according to media
reports.
The 23-year-old Frenchman will move to the English champions with
immediate effect, TV broadcaster Sky Germany and transfer journalist
Fabrizio Romano reported today.
The transfer fee is said to be around €95 million [$110.4 million),
with Ekitiké is signing a six-year contract with the Reds.
The two clubs have yet to confirm the transfer. Ekitiké would become
Liverpool’s next major signing from the German Bundesliga this close season,
following the acquisitions of Germany playmaker Florian Wirtz and
Dutch wing back Jeremie Frimpong from Leverkusen.
The death of Diogo Jota, uncertainty over Darwin Nunez’s future and
Bayern Munich’s pursuit of Luis Diaz appear to have prompted
Liverpool to continue their massive spending spree.
Ekitiké would be the latest big-money sale by savvy Frankfurt.
Earlier this year (2025), the club sold striker Omar Marmoush to Manchester
City for €75 million. Nearly two years ago, forward Kolo Muani was
transferred to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) for €95 million.
Ekitiké joined Eintracht Frankfurt from PSG at the start of 2024,
initially on loan, before being permanently signed last year for a
reported €16.5 million.
In the past season, he contributed 22 goals and 12 assists across all
competitions.
