Hugo Ekitike is closing in on a blockbuster move to Liverpool, and beyond the massive transfer fee, what’s catching attention now is the staggering salary package he’s set to receive.
Sources close to the deal reveal that the 22-year-old French striker will earn a lucrative weekly wage that reflects Liverpool’s belief in his potential to become a long-term star. It’s a deal that puts him firmly among the club’s highest earners despite his age.
While exact figures are yet to be confirmed, insiders suggest the package includes performance-based bonuses, image rights, and long-term incentives, making it one of the most lucrative contracts ever handed to a player his age at Liverpool.
With the club already investing heavily in young elite talent this summer, Ekitike’s arrival and his salary symbolize Liverpool’s aggressive shift into a new era, where potential is backed by serious financial commitment.
The pressure will be on, but the message is clear:
Liverpool aren’t just buying talent they’re betting big on the future.
