Liverpool confirm €95m capture of Hugo Ekitiké

Die Adler have sold their second high-profile striker after Omar Marmoush last January.

Liverpool have officially announced the signing of Hugo Ekitiké from Eintracht Frankfurt, both clubs have announced.

The French marksman joins the Reds for €95million making him Frankfurt’s joint-highest record sale. 

Ekitiké looked close to joining fellow English side Newcastle United before the reigning Premier League champions swooped. 

His 15 goals and 8 assists last season helped Frankfurt back into the Champions League, before signing a deal at Liverpool until 2031. 

The 23-year-old initially joined Die Adler on loan in February 2024 before the purchase option of €16.5million was activated. 

This is Liverpool’s third signing from the Bundesliga following the earlier arrivals of Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz.
