According to a report by renowned football journalist Fabrizio Romano on July 23, 2025, Liverpool Football Club have officially confirmed the signing of French striker Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt in a sensational €95 million package deal.
The agreement includes an €80 million fixed fee, €10 million in easily attainable performance-based add-ons, and an additional €5 million in more difficult clauses. Ekitike has signed a six-year contract that ties him to the Merseyside club until 2031.
This big-money move marks another key step in manager Arne Slot’s squad overhaul, following the recent arrivals of Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez, and Florian Wirtz.
Slot sees the 22-year-old striker as a crucial addition to Liverpool’s new-look attack, bringing pace, intelligence, and goal-scoring instincts to the front line.
Ekitike’s impressive performances in the Bundesliga earned him widespread attention, and his move to Anfield signals Liverpool’s intent to challenge for major honours once again.
Fans are eagerly anticipating his debut, as the French forward begins a new chapter in his career at one of the Premier League’s most iconic clubs.
