Hugo Ekitike Pushes for Liverpool Transfer – Anfield Move Now His Top Priority
French striker Hugo Ekitike has taken a decisive step in shaping his future by informing Eintracht Frankfurt that he wants to join Liverpool — and he wants it now.
According to trusted journalist Fabrizio Romano, the 23-year-old has made it abundantly clear to his current club that Liverpool is his number one destination this summer. Despite interest from several top European sides, Ekitike sees Jürgen Klopp’s Reds as the perfect environment to grow, compete, and make his mark at the highest level.
Ekitike’s desire to move to Merseyside is said to be driven by multiple factors — the prestige of Liverpool, the Premier League’s global appeal, and the club’s ongoing rebuild that could see him become a central figure in their new attacking era. With Darwin Núñez yet to fully convince, and with potential outgoings looming (such as Luis Díaz), Ekitike sees a golden opportunity to stake a claim in one of Europe’s elite forward lines.
Last season, Ekitike was electric for Frankfurt, notching 22 goals and 11 assists in all competitions, and he’s now looking for the next big step. However, the final decision will depend on Liverpool’s willingness to meet Frankfurt’s valuation — believed to be around £75–80 million.
Negotiations are reportedly ongoing, and while the Bundesliga side rejected Liverpool’s opening offer, the player’s personal desire could now play a decisive role in pushing the transfer closer to completion.
