Liverpool, July 16, 2025 — Liverpool have made contact with Eintracht Frankfurt to explore a possible move for 23-year-old forward Hugo Ekitike, as the club continues its search for attacking reinforcements this summer, according to reports from The Athletic.
The Reds are actively working on a potential deal for Ekitike, who has impressed in the Bundesliga following his move from Paris Saint-Germain. Known for his speed, technical ability, and goal-scoring instinct, Ekitike fits the dynamic attacking profile Liverpool are targeting under new head coach Arne Slot.
This interest comes as part of a broader strategy from Liverpool, who have also recently approached Newcastle United regarding a possible transfer for Swedish striker Alexander Isak. However, The Athletic reports that Newcastle have no intention of selling the 25-year-old, whom they consider central to their long-term project.
With Newcastle firm on Isak’s status, Liverpool’s pursuit of Ekitike remains active and ongoing. Eintracht Frankfurt are believed to be open to discussions, but any deal would likely hinge on both the player’s willingness and the financial terms offered.
Ekitike’s availability and Liverpool’s clear intent to add a versatile forward make this a developing story to watch as the transfer window unfolds.
