Liverpool have completed the signing of Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt for a total package worth £79m. The deal includes an initial £69m fee, with a further £10m structured in performance-based add-ons.

Those bonuses are heavily weighted towards Ekitike contributing meaningfully to Liverpool’s on-field success and are similar in structure to the club’s recent agreement for Florian Wirtz.

This latest move pushes Liverpool’s summer spending close to £300m, with the club reinforcing their forward line as part of a broader recruitment drive under Arne Slot.

Ekitike’s arrival underlines the club’s intent to strengthen across key areas, with the player viewed as a long-term addition capable of delivering immediate impact.
