As a result, Liverpool seems to ease the Aleksander Isak option. The attacker of Newcastle United, who once came out on a rental basis for Willem II, made an impression in the Premier League in the past seasons, but had to cost a lot more than Ekitike for whom Liverpool still pays 95 million euros. An absolute record amount to collect for Eintracht Frankfurt.
The 23-year-old Frenchman signs a contract with Liverpool up to and including the summer of 2031. He still has to be medically inspected and was missing on Saturday as a friendly game of That Adler.
Great investment for Frankfurt
Ekitike has also proved to be a great investment for Frankfurt. After a rental period, the striker was taken over from Paris Saint-Germain last year for 16.5 million euros. A year later he leaves for almost six times.

Ekitike impressed Frankfurt. Among other things in the matches against Ajax in the Europa League, then he was a scourge for the Amsterdam defense with his actions and also with a goal and an assist in the return. In total he was good for 22 goals and 12 assists last season.
Fourth summer gain Liverpool
Ekitike will be the fourth major summer gain of the Arne Slot team. Previously, Florian Wirtz (125 million euros), Jeremie Frimpong (40 million euros) and Milos Kerkez (47 million euros) were brought.
