Liverpool are ramping up their summer transfer plans, with a pivotal meeting scheduled for tomorrow between the club and Eintracht Frankfurt to discuss and potentially finalize the signing of Hugo Ekitike. The French striker, who is keen on the move to Anfield, has already agreed to personal terms, and this meeting is expected to be decisive in ironing out the final details of the deal. Liverpool have submitted a formal bid, and there is growing confidence on Merseyside that an agreement can be reached swiftly.
But Ekitike might not be the only forward on Liverpool’s radar.
Sources close to the club reveal that Liverpool have not ended their pursuit of Alexander Isak, despite ongoing negotiations for Ekitike. The Newcastle United star remains a top-tier target, admired for his pace, technical ability, and proven record in the Premier League. While no official bid has been made recently, Liverpool are believed to be closely monitoring the situation at St James’ Park and are prepared to act if an opportunity arises.
With the futures of key players like Luis Díaz and Darwin Núñez still uncertain, the club is keeping multiple attacking options open. The strategy appears to be one of agility and ambition, aiming to strengthen Arne Slot’s squad with both immediate impact players and long-term prospects.
In short: Ekitike talks are heating up and could be sealed within days, but Liverpool haven’t closed the door on a blockbuster swoop for Isak if circumstances align. The Reds mean business.
