Sky Sports Journalist: ‘Liverpool remain a concrete option’ for €100m Striker | OneFootball

Liverpool Monitor Frankfurt Striker as Transfer Market Heats Up

Eintracht Frankfurt face a crucial summer as they prepare for Champions League football. While securing top-four Bundesliga status was a significant achievement, attention has quickly turned to the future of their 23-year-old striker, who is drawing interest from several Premier League clubs — most notably Liverpool.

Although no formal negotiations have taken place, there’s growing anticipation around an official approach. Frankfurt are believed to be open to a sale if the price is right, with a valuation of around €100m being discussed internally.

The striker, who joined Frankfurt from Paris Saint-Germain, finished the season in strong form. His performances have not gone unnoticed, and his availability has prompted renewed interest from English sides looking to bolster their attacking options.

Liverpool’s Interest Reflects Strategic Forward Planning

Liverpool’s interest in the Frankfurt forward is not unexpected. The Merseyside club have been actively monitoring talent that fits their evolving tactical blueprint under Arne Slot. With age on his side, this particular target represents a blend of athleticism, technical potential and the ability to play across the front line — a profile that Liverpool are known to value highly.

As the club reshapes its forward line, the 23-year-old presents an appealing option, especially given the uncertainty surrounding the futures of several current squad members. While no formal offer has been made, sources suggest Liverpool could escalate their interest in the coming weeks should Frankfurt’s stance soften.

Other Premier League Clubs Maintain Strong Interest

While Liverpool remain firmly in the conversation, they’re not alone. Newcastle United have revived their pursuit of the Frankfurt attacker, and Manchester United are also keeping tabs on developments. Chelsea, by contrast, are understood to be out of the running following their recent acquisition of Joao Pedro.

The player’s €100m price tag could complicate matters, particularly given Financial Fair Play considerations. However, Frankfurt are bracing for bids and understand that a major sale this summer may be inevitable — particularly if the offers align with their internal valuation.

Frankfurt’s Champions League Plans May Hinge on Key Sale

From Frankfurt’s perspective, retaining their top scorer would be ideal as they prepare for European competition. Club officials are keen to build around a young, dynamic squad, but financial realities may dictate their summer strategy.

According to reports, the Bundesliga side “would like to keep him, also to be well prepared for the Champions League,” but are aware that “offers are expected this month.” Should a suitable proposal arrive — particularly from one of England’s elite — Frankfurt will face a significant decision.

While Liverpool have yet to make their move, their interest underlines the growing appeal of this emerging Bundesliga star. Whether he moves to Anfield or elsewhere remains to be seen, but what’s certain is that Frankfurt’s No. 9 is firmly on the radar across the Premier League.
