JAKARTA - Liverpool are in the process of negotiating to recruit striker Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt.
The 2024/2025 Premier League champions have considered various options to strengthen their future line, with Darwin Nunez's forward still uncertain.
Liverpool had previously asked about the availability of Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak this week.
Even if it is available for transfer this summer, Isak's tag is no joke. The Reds can certainly spend more than Florian Wirtz's price which broke the club and Premier League transfer records. Therefore, Liverpool never made an official offer.

In the aftermath, the Reds have turned their attention to Ekitike, who was previously also approached by Newcastle.
Newcastle can bite their fingers because currently Liverpool are at the forefront of getting Ekitike. You see, The Magpies' offer of 64.9 million pounds has also been rejected by Frankfurt earlier this week.
Eddie Howe's team is also likely to step down if asked to raise the offer. So far, Frankfurt have asked for a price of between 80 million and 90 million euros.
The situation was also exploited by Liveprool. According to ESPN reports, the offer from the Reds is expected to follow in the coming days even though talks have grown rapidly in the early stages.
Arne Slot's team is also predicted to be brave enough to pay the dowry according to Frankfurt's wishes.
Meanwhile, Manchester United is also interested in Ekitike. However, the attacker reportedly prefers to move to Anfield.
Ekitike scored 22 goals and 12 assists in all events for the Frankfurt season 2024/2025 after joining the Bundesliga club from Paris Saint-Germain in 2024.
