Transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano wrote on social media: “EXCL: Liverpool have submitted official bid to Eintracht for Hugo Ekitike!

“Eintracht already informed Liverpool that they want more, proposal rejected but it was initial contact as talks continue. Ekitike said ???????????? Liverpool, no issues on personal terms. He wants #LFC.”

Here’s a rewritten version of each sentence with varied language and structure, Bolu:

At 23, Hugo Ekitike is considered one of Europe’s top young strikers, having tallied 22 goals and 12 assists in 48 matches across all competitions.

Liverpool, the reigning Premier League champions, have been actively searching for a new frontman this summer, with names like Alexander Isak, Viktor Gyokeres, and Benjamin Sesko all linked to the club.

After encountering setbacks in their pursuit of Isak from Newcastle, Liverpool now appear focused on securing a swift agreement for Ekitike.

Ekitike began his professional journey with Reims before making the move to Paris Saint-Germain in 2022.

While at PSG, he shared the locker room with global stars such as Lionel Messi, Sergio Ramos, and Kylian Mbappe.

In October 2022, it came to light that Messi had dubbed Ekitike “the iron rod,” a playful reference to his ‘wiry frame’.

French news outlet Get Football News France wrote: “Messi, meanwhile, has taken to naming him “the iron rod” in reference to his wiry frame. The inury-prone forward has also hired a personal trainer and a physio in order to develop his body for the highest level.”

So far this transfer window, Liverpool have brought in Jeremie Frimpong, Florian Wirtz, and Milos Kerkez to bolster their squad.

In addition to Hugo Ekitike, several other names—Marc Guehi, Rodrygo, and Anthony Gordon—have also been linked with potential moves to Anfield.

Liverpool are set to kick off their Premier League title defense next month with a home fixture against Bournemouth at Anfield on August 15.
