Darwin Nunez’s time at Liverpool may be nearing its end, and the Reds are already lining up possible replacements.

With interest in the Uruguayan forward growing and a potential summer move on the cards, Liverpool are now said to be watching Eintracht Frankfurt’s Hugo Ekitike very closely.

Nunez had previously attracted an offer from Saudi side Al Nassr in January, which Liverpool turned down.

The forward is open to exploring new opportunities, and the club is considering all options as they prepare for big changes up front.

Ekitike, who joined Frankfurt from PSG last summer, has had an impressive season.

His performances have not gone unnoticed, especially by Liverpool scouts who have reportedly monitored him for some time.

Initially valued at around €80 million (£67 million), Frankfurt are now demanding at least €100 million (£85.7 million) for Ekitike, according to transfer expert Florian Plettenberg (via Sky Germany).

That fee is just slightly more than the £85.3 million Liverpool paid to sign Nunez in 2022.

With a contract running until 2029, Frankfurt are in no rush to sell.

That was the short answer.”

Whether Liverpool go all in for Ekitike remains uncertain, but the signs point to a busy summer ahead at Anfield.
