Dino Toppmoller, the coach of Eintracht Frankfurt, believes that star player Hugo Ekitike is likely to sign with Liverpool. Ekitike is reportedly eager to move to Liverpool after agreeing to a six-year contract with the club. Liverpool has also set up a tentative agreement with Frankfurt for a deal that could exceed €95 million (£82.3 million) depending on additional clauses. Although the transfer isn’t finalized yet, Toppmoller hinted at Ekitike’s move to Liverpool when asked about his absence in the friendly match against FSV Frankfurt. “He didn’t play, but you can infer the rest,” Toppmoller mentioned on the club’s website, adding, “This is a tough loss.” We lost our best player, Omar Marmoush, during the winter.

It’s very likely that this is also part of history. I believe we should lower our expectations a little. Ekitike had stints with Reims, Vejle, and Paris Saint-Germain before signing with Frankfurt on a loan basis in February 2024. Once his transfer became permanent, he had a remarkable 2024-25 season with the German club, scoring 22 goals and assisting 12 times in 48 competitive appearances.
