Liverpool replace Jota with 100 million euro blockbuster

The sudden departure of Diogo Jota and doubts over Darwin Nunez's future have forced Liverpool to speed up their efforts to sign striker Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt.

Ekitike is being sought after by a number of big clubs.

According to Fichajes , Liverpool are not the only team pursuing Ekitike. Chelsea and Manchester United have both expressed interest, with both teams lacking effectiveness in attack. However, the “Reds” believe that a clear sporting project, along with the ability to compete for major titles under new coach Arne Slot, could be the key factor in convincing the player born in 2002.

Ekitike initially arrived at Frankfurt on loan from PSG but was quickly bought permanently after his explosive performances. Realizing the Frenchman's value, the Bundesliga side valued him at 100 million euros, a considerable sum but in line with the player's potential and rising class.

Ekitite has just had an impressive season in the Bundesliga, scoring 22 goals and contributing 12 assists after 48 matches, becoming one of the most sought-after stars in Europe at the moment.

Possessing speed, technique and a diverse finishing ability, Ekitike is considered to be completely suitable for Liverpool's attacking philosophy. However, the price Frankfurt offered made the Anfield team hesitate, especially when "The Kop" just spent 125 million euros to recruit Florian Wirtz from Leverkusen.
