In a major development, Liverpool are reportedly preparing a massive €100 million offer to sign striker Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt.
According to reporter Christian Falk, this significant bid is being prepared as a direct response to Eintracht rejecting Liverpool’s initial, lower proposal. By tabling such a huge offer, Liverpool are aiming to definitively secure their top striker target, who has already agreed to personal terms and wants the move.
The plan to finance this blockbuster deal is also clear. Liverpool are expected to use the funds generated from the sale of wantaway winger Luis Diaz. With Diaz having made his desire to leave public, the club is planning a “one in, one out” strategy, reinvesting the money directly into his replacement.
If this mega-offer is submitted and accepted, Liverpool will have successfully landed their new number nine, bringing one of the summer’s most compelling transfer sagas to a conclusion.
