bloomshorts Liverpool Announces Hugo Ekitike Signing
Liverpool have officially announced the signing of Hugo Ekitike in a deal that could reach €95m if certain add-ons are triggered. The Reds have confirmed the arrival of Ekitike on their official site this evening, while Fabrizio Romano has clarified details about the structure of the package being paid to Eintracht Frankfurt.
Details of the Deal
The 23-year-old Frenchman looks like an exciting signing, giving Liverpool a much-needed upgrade on Darwin Nunez as their main centre-forward. Liverpool fans will no doubt be excited to see Ekitike in action as soon as possible, but will he prove value for money after such a big investment?
Transfer Saga Unfolded
It’s fair to say Ekitike was wanted by a number of big clubs this summer, so LFC have done well to win the race for his signature. CaughtOffside were recently informed of Manchester United’s interest in Ekitike, while Romano also stated that the feeling at Eintracht Frankfurt was that the Red Devils could try rivalling Liverpool for the deal.
Ekitike to Replace Nunez?
Nunez has struggled in his time at Liverpool, and he’s likely to be on his way out this summer. Ekitike’s arrival all but cements that, while clubs are already lining up to try to get a deal done for Nunez.
