A very expensive domino in the summer transfer window appears to be falling — Liverpool FC is reportedly on the verge of completing a deal for Eintracht Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitiké.
Should the move go through, Liverpool will likely be more willing to sell Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano broke the news:
BREAKING: Hugo Ekitike to Liverpool, here we go!
Deal in place for fee over €90m for the French striker to join from Eintracht Frankfurt, potentially reaching €95m.
Six year
ADdeal for Ekitike, valid until June 2031; he only wanted Liverpool move.
New striker for Slot
Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg also had the story as well:
BREAKING | Hugo #Ekitike to Liverpool is considered a done deal!
A full agreement with Eintracht Frankfurt in principle has now been reached after new talks today. Transfer fee: €95 million with add-ons included.
Contract until 2031. Medical to take place soon. The next big sale by Markus Krösche. #LFC
From here, things could move quickly for Bayern Munich, Liverpool, and Diaz as FC Barcelona has reportedly been priced out of the Diaz sweepstakes.
The careers of Liverpool FC’s Luis Diaz and Bayern Munich board member for sport Max Eberl could end up intertwined if the transfer move goes through. Meanwhile, is the rest of the Bundesliga sick of being bullied by Bayern Munich and is the league bleeding too much talent? Also, Paul Wanner and Lennart Karl could be in line for opportunities during the preseason...can the youngster take advantage of those chances? Finally, the father of Florian Wirtz talks through how the decision to join Liverpool played out and you can hear how HBO screwed BPW this week.
