Fabrizio Romano has provided his latest on Hugo Ekitike amid some reports linking Liverpool with the Frenchman,

Liverpool’s forward line could undergo a dramatic transformation this summer, with Darwin Núñez and Luis Díaz linked to high-profile exits amid growing interest in the Eintracht Frankfurt striker

As manager Arne Slot prepares for his first full transfer window, the Reds are set to prioritize reshaping their attack to address inconsistent performances and ease the goalscoring burden off Mohamed Salah.

Darwin Nunez, 25, appears destined for a summer departure after three seasons of polarizing displays.

Despite flashes of brilliance, the Uruguayan’s struggles with finishing and offside decisions (14 goal contributions in 2024/25) have pushed Liverpool toward a sale.

Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr, who came “very close” to signing him in January, are expected to reignite their pursuit.

Meanwhile, the future of Luis Diaz is also not exactly clear heading into the summer window.

As a result, it has been reported that Liverpool is keeping tabs on Hugo Ekitike.

The former PSG forward has enjoyed a breakout season, notching 19 goals and 8 assists in 38 games—a goal contribution every 102 minutes, outperforming Núñez (134) and Jota (123).

And while Fabrizio Romano did not directly mention Liverpool, he asserts that Hugo Ekitike will be playing in the Premier League next season:

“I expect Ekitike to play in the Premier League next season,” he wrote for GIVEMESPORT.

“I said that 10 days ago and keep insisting as this is the feeling in the industry.”

“There are contacts already but from several clubs; too early to indicate a favourite,” the Italian added.

Eintracht Frankfurt has established a firm valuation of €80 million for Ekitike, according to a report from BILD.

The Bundesliga club remains confident of securing this fee following Ekitike’s outstanding performances this season.

Having signed the French forward for only €20 million, Frankfurt is poised to make a substantial profit should their asking price be met.
